ALBAWABA - French President Emmanuel Macron revealed that he is not very sure that Russian President Vladimir Putin is willing to stop the war with Ukraine.
The statement came as the French president attended a meeting in the White House along with other European leaders, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and US President Donald Trump on Aug. 18.
“When I look at the situation and the facts, I don’t see President Putin very willing to get peace now. But perhaps I’m too pessimistic,” Macron told NBC News in an interview after meeting on Monday.
On the other hand, Macron said the US President is optimistic that a possible deal should be taken seriously.
"If he considers he can get a deal done, this is great news, and we have to do whatever we can to have a great deal," Macron added.
