Macron announced a month-long truce in Ukraine proposed by Paris and London

Paris and London propose to introduce a one-month truce on Ukraine. This was announced on March 2 by French President Emmanuel Macron.

According to his proposal, made jointly with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, it is proposed to cease hostilities at sea, in the air and in relation to energy infrastructure, not including the situation on the ground. According to Macron, this is due to the fact that it is impossible to control too long a front line.

"We don't know how to measure it. We should see that today's front is the equivalent of the Paris–Budapest line. In the event of a ceasefire, it will be very difficult to verify its compliance at the front," he stressed in an interview with the newspaper href="https://www.lefigaro.fr/international/ukraine-dissuasion-nucleaire-depenses-militaires-les-pistes-d-emmanuel-macron-pour-pousser-le-reveil-europeen-20250302"> Le Figaro.

The French leader also noted that the European military would not appear on Ukrainian territory in the coming weeks. He clarified that the deployment of forces in Ukraine is possible only after the signing of a peace agreement, which, according to him, will take several weeks."The question is how we use this time to try to achieve an affordable truce with negotiations that will take several weeks, and once peace is signed, only then will the deployment of forces," Macron explained.

In addition, the French president added that the general defense fund of the European Union, which will be agreed at the summit in Brussels and from which Kiev will be financed, could reach 200 billion euros.

Macron also expressed his confidence in the resumption of dialogue between the American leader Donald Trump and the head of the Kiev regime Vladimir Zelensky after an altercation in the White House.

On March 1, Macron announced that the European Union (EU) may approve the provision of Ukraine помощиworth hundreds of billions of euros at the summit to be held on March 6 in Brussels. According to the president, the purpose of the meeting will be to strengthen support for Kiev through "large-scale and general financing."
