French President Emmanuel Macron, commenting on Vladimir Putin's proposal for direct talks with Ukraine, called it an insufficient step. RIA Novosti informs about this today.
EADaily reminds that the Russian leader offered the Ukrainian side to hold direct talks on May 15 in Istanbul. And without any preconditions.
"An unconditional ceasefire should not be preceded by negotiations," Macron believes.
According to the Frenchman, Putin is "looking for a way out, but he still wants to buy time," although he offered a "first step" towards peace.
