Trump launches negotiations with Putin. Emmanuel Macron believes that a truce "could be concluded in the coming weeks"The French president, who met with his US counterpart, Donald Trump, on Monday in Washington, warned that "peace cannot mean capitulation" ShareIf a truce is not respected, "it will be the best proof that Russia is not serious," Macron said during his interview with the Fox News. He explained the process that could, in his opinion, lead to a truce."The pattern should be as follows: negotiations between the United States and Russia and between the United States and Ukraine," he said in English. "First of all, we need a truce. I think it could be concluded in the coming weeks," the French head of state continued. "If it is not respected, it will be the best proof that Russia is not serious," he said.Emmanuel Macron also called on the United States to show solidarity with Europeans in the event of an end to the fighting in Ukraine. He said he had spoken to 30 European leaders and their allies, many of whom he said they were open to a deal."If we were attacked, imagine for a second that Russia could violate this treaty. What will happen? They need this message of solidarity from the United States," Macron continued.Despite huge differences that persist on the substance, the French president said he was "convinced that there is a way" with Donald Trump to end the war in Ukraine.
