President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with President of France Emmanuel Macron.
President Macron briefed President Zelenskyy on the meeting with European leaders, which took place on February 17 in Paris. The meeting focused on the global situation, particularly in Europe, and security guarantees for Ukraine.
There is a shared view that security guarantees must be robust and reliable. Any other decision, such as a fragile ceasefire, would only serve as another deception by Russia and lay the groundwork for a new Russian war against Ukraine or other European nations.
Emmanuel Macron also updated Volodymyr Zelenskyy on his talks with other world leaders.
The Presidents of Ukraine and France agreed to remain in constant contact and coordinate efforts to achieve a robust and lasting peace, which can only be ensured through strong security guarantees.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for the efforts of France and personally Emmanuel Macron in this regard.
