Macron: Only Zelenskyy can negotiate on behalf of Ukraine

Only President Volodymyr Zelensky can negotiate peace on behalf of Ukraine, says French President Emmanuel Macron, warning against “peace that is capitulation.”

Such a peace would be bad news for everyone, including the United States, Macron said in an interview with the Financial Times .

“The only question now is whether President Putin is genuinely, permanently and seriously willing to conclude a ceasefire on this basis. After that, it is up to the Ukrainians to negotiate with Russia,” Macron said.
