Macron has issued a powerful call for “strong measures” to compel Russia into a ceasefire, reaffirming France’s commitment to ending the ongoing war through collective international pressure.

“Strong measures are needed to impose a ceasefire on Russia. France is working tirelessly toward this goal, alongside its partners.

“To the victims, the wounded, and all of Ukraine that continues to resist: our solidarity, our respect, our unwavering commitment,” the French President added
