French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that a plan between Russia and Ukraine to end hostilities can only be finalised with the involvement of Kyiv and Europeans powers. This came as he hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Paris, as part of a diplomatic push to broker a peace deal after nearly four years of war.
President Macron said the talks with Zelensky "could be a turning point" for the future of peace in Ukraine and security in Europe.
