TIRANA, May 17 /ATA/ – French President Emmanuel Macron has reaffirmed support for Ukraine, underlining that France has been committed to strongly supporting the country since the beginning of the unprovoked Russian aggression.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama in Tirana, Macron answered to a reporter, who said that several people were killed in a drone strike in Ukraine earlier on Saturday, asking whether this was Vladimir Putin’s response to the European and U.S. proposal for ceasefire or tougher additional sanctions were needed against Russia now.
Macron expressed unwavering support for Ukraine and accused Putin of cynicism and said that Russia has failed to respect ceasefire proposals backed by the U.S. and other Western nations. He also expressed hope that U.S. President will react.
“The cease-fire proposals, which I remind you are an American initiative, have not been respected by President Putin and his armies. Given President Putin’s cynicism, I believe, I am even sure, that President Trump, concerned about the credibility of the United States of America, will react,” Macron said
