Reuters reports.
"Facing the speculation on what could be the positions or initiatives of the new U.S administration, I think that we absolutely should not prejudge and we have to give (the administration) time," French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot stated on November 11.
However, Barrot added that any future initiatives must ensure that Ukraine itself decides when and how to start negotiations. In the meantime, he said, Western allies must continue providing Ukraine with the support needed to push back Russian forces.
"(Ukraine's) President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has met President-elect Trump numerous times and I don't doubt that a strong relationship will be established with the new administration," said Barrot.
- Advisers to the winner of the U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump, are offering him several options for ending the war in Ukraine. In particular, Ukraine's refusal to join NATO for 20 years.
