French President Emmanuel Macron has strongly criticized Russia’s latest airstrikes on Ukraine, saying Moscow has shown no genuine interest in peace.
“Once again last night, Russia showed that it sincerely does not want peace. Full support for the Ukrainian people,” Macron posted on X on Friday.
His statement follows a night of heavy Russian drone attacks on the Ukrainian port city of Odesa. Waves of drones set multiple locations ablaze, striking a high-rise residential building, a shopping center, and key infrastructure sites, according to regional governor Oleh Kiper. Czech President Petr Pavel was in Odesa at the time of the assault.
The strikes come as uncertainty looms over a recently proposed partial ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
