The leaders of the four kyiv allies had traveled together in the Ukrainian train by train for a visit of more than nine hours with the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The visit occurred shortly after the spokesperson for Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, rejected calls to a prolonged ceasefire until the West stops its military support in kyiv.
French President Emmanuel Macron published a direct reprimand at the request of Russia, telling journalists that “everything that disrupts the process by imposing conditions is, in a way, a delaying tactic to avoid peace”.
During the three -hour discussion between the leaders of the Zelenskyy Mariinsky Palais, Macron had taken the initiative to call Trump on his mobile phone and inform him with the other leaders about discussions.
Trump noted the call, even if it was still before 7 a.m. in Washington, and agreed to support European requests, according to two officials knowing the issue.
The proposed ceasefire will have “the surveillance provided mainly by the United States of America, and to which all Europeans will contribute,” Macron told journalists later.
The French president added that this “would allow the immediate launch of negotiations for” robust and lasting peace on the issue of territories, the question of sensitive energy infrastructure and of course the question of security guarantees “.
