French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday said the next two weeks would be “critical” for defining security guarantees for Ukraine following Monday’s White House peace talks with US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and seven European leaders.
“There is all the work that needs to be done beforehand on security guarantees. The next 15 days are absolutely critical for us to finalise the work with the Americans and give these security guarantees substance”, Macron said in an interview with French media.
Macron praised Trump’s decision to, in the US President’s words, provide Ukraine with a “very good security guarantee.”
He noted “the British, French, Germans, Turks and others are ready to carry out operations, not at the frontline, not provocatively, but reassurance operations in the air, at sea and on land”.
“We want to make sure that this peace, and so this deal will be something which will allow the Ukrainians to recover their country and live in peace, to be sure the day after this peace deal that they will have sufficient deterrence power not to be attacked again, and to be sure for the Europeans that they will live in peace and security”, Macron said.
