French President Emmanuel Macron, after a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stated that although the agreement reached in Gaza offers a chance for peace in the Middle East, the conflict in Ukraine must also be ended.
If Russia continues its stubborn military frenzy and refusal to sit at the negotiating table, it will pay the appropriate price.
In his statement, the French leader also sharply condemned Russia's strikes on Ukraine's critical infrastructure, which, according to him, are effectively aimed at the civilian population ahead of the winter period.
According to Macron, Paris, together with its partners, is working on the necessary assistance to restore and ensure vital services – electricity, heating, and water supply – in the affected territories.
France, the president noted, "more than ever" supports Ukraine and is acting within the Coalition of the Willing to strengthen aid and pressure on Moscow to end the aggression.
