According to him, “when the moment comes and the conflict ends,” Ukraine should “determine the modalities of the negotiations itself.”

“Neither France nor Germany will negotiate with Russia instead of Ukraine,” Macron was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti. 

He noted that Paris and Berlin intend to participate in the negotiations as security guarantors.

At the same time, Macron said that France and Germany "will never negotiate on behalf of Ukraine."

Earlier it was reported that Macron decided to supply the Ukrainian army with six more Caesar self-propelled 155-mm howitzers.
