“I will do my best to discuss this issue with Emanuel Macron today. If this does not happen today, then tomorrow he will find the time “added Zelensky.
Earlier today, Emanuel Macron chose not to repeat the term “genocide” he used. the American counterpart of Joe Biden to accuse Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.
“I would say that Russia has unilaterally started a savage war, that it has now been established that war crimes were committed by the Russian army and that those responsible must now be found.”Macron said initially.
“What is happening is madness, it is an inconceivable violence (…) but at the same time I am looking at the facts and I want to try as much as possible to be able to stop this war and rebuild peace, so I am not sure that the verbal escalation serves the purpose »he continued.
