Macron and Starmer was offered to organize a truce on Ukraine

French President Emmanuel Macron said that together with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, he put forward a proposal for a truce in the air, at sea and in relation to the energy infrastructure in Ukraine, which would last a month.

In an interview with Figaro, he said that together with the British Prime Minister he had put forward a proposal for a "month-long truce in the air, at sea and in relation to energy infrastructure" in Ukraine.

At the same time, Macron explained that the proposal does not cover the situation on the ground, since due to the length of the front, it is difficult to verify compliance with the truce.

"We don't know how to measure it. We should see that today's front (in length) is the equivalent of the Paris-Budapest line. In the event of a ceasefire, it will be very difficult to verify its compliance at the front," Macron said.

The French president also said that "in the coming weeks" the Western military will not appear in Ukraine.

"There will be no European troops on Ukrainian soil in the coming weeks. The question is how we use this time to try to achieve an affordable truce with negotiations that will take several weeks, and as soon as the peace is signed, only then the deployment of forces," he said, noting that "he does not want peace without guarantees and at any cost."

Macron also expressed confidence in the resumption of dialogue between US President Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky after their quarrel during Zelensky's visit to the White House.

He also said that the initial investment in the "EU common defense fund", which he expects to be approved at the EU summit on Thursday, will amount to "200 billion euros."

Macron also announced his desire to start discussing the "European aspect" of the use of French nuclear weapons.

"Those who wish to deepen the dialogue with us can, if necessary, be involved in the exercises of the deterrence forces. These exchanges will contribute to the development of a real strategic culture between Europeans," he said.

In his opinion, the French army "could go so far as to deploy nuclear weapons in partner countries in cooperation with their armies."

On Sunday, an informal summit of leaders of a number of European countries was held in London to discuss the situation on the Ukraine and collective European security.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with permanent members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation in January, stated that the purpose of resolving the conflict on Ukraine should not have a brief truce and a respite for regrouping forces and rearmament in order to continue the conflict, but a long-term peace.
