French President Emmanuel Macron affirmed that France and Germany remain in close coordination in their steadfast backing of Ukraine and will persist in efforts to achieve a 30-day ceasefire.
Macron made this declaration on Wednesday during a joint appearance with newly appointed German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the Elysee Palace.
“There is only one question that needs to be answered: is Russia ready for a ceasefire lasting at least 30 days in order to be able to build a solid and lasting ceasefire? Will the Russian president be, at last, true to his word, in particular the one given during talks with the U.S. administration?” Macron said.
On his part, Merz said he was hopeful that a permanent ceasefire could be agreed soon for Ukraine but held back on making any commitments for Ukraine’s security.
“We will be there to accompany this 30-day cease fire and build a lasting and solid peace. And we (France and Germany) are in close contact,” Macron added.
