Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he held talks with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron on Dec. 1.

“We talked with Emmanuel for several hours. We managed to assess a lot of details,” Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram.

The Ukrainian President said they focused primarily on talks to end the war and, in particular, on security guarantees.

“Peace must be truly reliable. The war must end as soon as possible. Much now depends on the activity of each leader,” Zelenskyy stressed.
