Przemysl: President Vladimir Putin’s proposal for direct talks between Russia and Ukraine, Kiv and his European colleagues called for a 30 -day ceasefire, “not enough”, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday. “An unconditional ceasefire was not done before the conversation,” Macron told reporters, “according to the definition, he told reporters that he stepped on a train in the Polish city of Programic from Ukraine’s visit to Ukraine, saying that Putin was” searching out in a way, but he still wants to buy time “.Western colleagues have repeatedly accused Putin of delaying the strategy in relation to any possible bid to end the struggle in Ukraine, which has been dragged since February 2022.Asked if this was another such example, Macron replied: “Yes, this is.”Macron visited Kives with leaders from Germany, Britain and Poland on Saturday, and four of them, and President Volodimir Zelanski called for a 30-day without-end ceasefire starting on Monday.Macron warned that Russia would face “mass restrictions” if it did not comply with it.The leaders said the United States and other countries withdraw the proposal.Speaking in the Kremlin in the early hours of Sunday, Putin proposed a direct conversation with Ukraine in Istanbul in the coming days, but did not address the 30-day ceasefire proposal.Macron said, “This is a way not to answer … to show that he is committed to trying to maintain ambiguity in the eyes of Americans.” He said, “We need to stand firmly with the Americans and say that the ceasefire is unconditionally and then we can discuss the rest,” he said.Macron also stated that Putin’s proposal “was unacceptable for Ukrainian because they could not accept parallel discussion, while they keep bombing”.He also raised doubts on whether Zalensky would agree to interact in Istanbul as to whether the “complex” Russian-urine talks held there in 2022 immediately after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
