“You can't humiliate Russia.
When hostilities stop one day, we will be able to pave the way to a way out of the crisis with the help of diplomacy, ”TASS quotes Macron as saying in an interview with the regional press.
He expressed confidence that France should play the role of a mediator.
On May 28, Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in a telephone conversation with Russian state leader Vladimir Putin, asked for a "ceasefire" in Ukraine, where an operation is being carried out to protect the Donbass.
