Ukraine needs realistic stance on territory for talks with Russia: French President

India Today  

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that Ukraine needs to have a realistic position on territorial issues as part of efforts to bring about a negotiation with Russia. Speaking at an annual conference to French ambassadors to outline their strategy for the year, Macron's comments were the first time he had suggested that Kyiv should consider a position beyond seeking to regain all territory seized by Russia. "The Ukrainians need to hold a realistic discussion on the territorial questions and only they can do that, and the Europeans are counting on building security guarantees that will be their responsibility," Macron said. "There will not be a quick and easy solution," Macron said, referring to US President-elect Donald Trump's promise to end the war quickly.
