If Russia continues to stall and reject peace, decisive action must follow – Macron
A ceasefire must take place as soon as possible, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Platform X on Sunday.
"On this day of national mourning in Ukraine, my thoughts are with the children and all civilian victims of the deadly strikes carried out by Russia, such as in Kryvy Rih on April 4. Again last night, numerous Russian strikes targeted residential areas in Kyiv and several other Ukrainian cities," he wrote.
Macron noted that "Ukraine accepted President Trump's proposal for a full and unconditional 30-day ceasefire nearly a month ago."
"Strong action must follow if Russia continues to stall and reject peace," Macron said.
