France's Macron urges Ukraine to have "realistic" territorial discussions

BFMTV reported this, according to RBC-Ukraine.

During the annual meeting of French ambassadors, Macron called on Ukrainians to "have realistic discussions on territorial issues." He is convinced that  only Ukrainians can lead such negotiations to stop the war.

"The United States must help us change the nature of the situation and convince Russia to come to the negotiating table, while the Europeans will have to build security guarantees for Ukraine, which will be their first responsibility," Macron said.

In addition, according to Macron, despite the promises of the new U.S. President Donald Trump, under the current conditions "there will be no quick and easy solution in Ukraine.”

• The day before, Slovak Defense Minister Robert Kalyniak said that "the reality on the ground" indicates that Ukraine will have to give up some of its land.
