"What is happening in Ukraine is unacceptable and extremely serious. It cannot be said that we are ready to discuss and bomb. This ambiguity demonstrates the inauthenticity of the discussions that took place," Macron said in Hanoi.
"I think President Trump realizes that when President Putin told him he was ready for peace, he lied to him," Macron said.
"In recent hours, we have seen again the expression of Donald Trump's anger. A form of impatience. I just want it to be put into action now," the French president said.
Macron also called for "a ceasefire, as long as possible."
Like other European leaders, Macron wants to set "a deadline for President Putin" to establish a ceasefire, "and after" that date there will be "massive reprisals."
