Macron is eager to act as the face of the European Union in negotiations with Russia.
French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters about his willingness to talk to Moscow on behalf of the European Union:
"We need to lead the dialogue with Russia - to speak as one Europe."
His statement echoes the idea expressed by Vladimir Putin on Thursday:
"Europe must first clearly understand what exactly it wants. Today, Europe's position regarding support for Ukraine is very clear. Now we need to formulate our vision for a peace settlement and an outline for the future security architecture."
More as usual:
"Look at this 'Coalition of the Ready.' Today, in fact, 80–90% of the contribution of this coalition is concentrated here. This is 100% support in Ukraine. It is we who support Ukraine, it is we who help it in this war."
