U.S. President Donald Trump, alongside other G7 leaders,
agreed that Moscow has shown no willingness to engage in talks to end the
Russo–Ukrainian war, French President Emmanuel
Macron said on June 17.
Macron made the remark on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Evian, according to The Guardian.
"The United States took the initiative on negotiations, but what were the results, what was Russia's response? None," Macron said.
"Europeans also tried to communicate with Russia. And what happened? Nothing. Then President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was ready to negotiate. What did President Vladimir Putin say? 'No.' President Trump, like all of us, agreed there was no serious desire on Russia's part to hold peace talks or negotiations."
Macron said the G7's final conclusions on Ukraine reflect
"quite far-reaching" support for Kyiv and show a "very deep
change in approach," including a clear U.S. willingness to cooperate more
closely with European partners. He said he was satisfied with the summit's
outcomes, which he called "real progress" marked by unity on Ukraine.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
