French President Emmanuel Macron announced in an Instagram post that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not responding to the proposal for an unconditional ceasefire made by the United States and supported by Ukraine and European partners.

Macron’s statement was published following a phone call he had from Tirana with U.S. President Donald Trump.

In the continuation of the communication, Macron emphasized that France and its allies will continue to coordinate with European partners, the U.S., and the coalition of willing countries to define a joint response to the situation.

“We just had a phone conversation from Albania with President Trump. Once again, President Putin is not responding to the unconditional ceasefire proposal made by the Americans and supported by Ukraine and the Europeans. By rejecting the ceasefire and dialogue with Ukraine, Russia is showing that it does not want peace and is trying to buy time by continuing the war. In this context, as the European Political Community gathers for a summit in Tirana, we will continue to coordinate with our European partners, with the United States, and with the coalition of the willing to define a joint response,” Macron wrote.
