Macron: Putin’s Actions Show He’s Not Interested in Peace

French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not interested in peace and is unwilling to negotiate. His remarks followed a large-scale Russian attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which he described as a clear indication that Putin seeks to escalate hostilities. Speaking in Buenos Aires ahead of the G20 summit, Macron emphasized that the recent assault confirmed that Putin's actions do not align with any desire for peace, despite his public statements.

Macron further highlighted the importance of supporting Ukraine, stressing the need for continued military aid to help Ukrainians defend themselves. "We must honor our commitments to the Ukrainians, meaning we must ensure they have the necessary weapons and equipment to fight this war," he said.
