This is the moment to come to peace and find a compromise between the two countries and reassure Zelensky,” he said on the Europe 1 TV channel.

Dupont-Aignan noted that the conflict in Ukraine "went in the wrong direction" and puts China and the United States in an advantageous position.

Earlier, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu expressed confidence that Western countries should convince the Kyiv authorities to sit down at the negotiating table with Russia.

French President Emmanuel Macron, in an interview with TF1, expressed confidence that France and the United States should jointly prepare a dialogue between Russia and Ukraine.
