Macron Calls for Balanced Ukraine Peace Plan

French President Emmanuel Macron discusses the need for a balanced peace plan for Ukraine that addresses the concerns of both Ukraine and Russia. Macron emphasizes the importance of Ukraine strengthening its army and mentions the role of frozen Russian assets in Europe.

In a recent interview with RTL radio, French President Emmanuel Macron commented on U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed peace plan for Ukraine. Macron noted that while the plan aligns with Russian interests, it requires significant changes to be acceptable to Ukraine and the broader European community.

Macron made it clear that France seeks peace but rejects any solution that would amount to Ukraine's capitulation. He emphasized the necessity for Ukraine to fortify its military capabilities as a primary measure for any ceasefire or peace agreement with Russia.

Additionally, Macron touched upon the issue of frozen Russian assets in Europe, asserting that decisions about these assets fall under the jurisdiction of European nations alone.
