The politician called for the start of negotiations on peace in Ukraine, taking into account mutual security.

The French president previously announced plans to “create a ninth coalition for deep strikes” to supply bombs and long-range missiles to Ukraine.

The politician called on Macron to stop and think about his rhetoric.
