France’s Macron to Trump: ‘Everybody Around This Table Is in Favor of Peace’ in Ukraine

EXCERPT:

MACRON: “Thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this meeting, and for your commitment. And everything was said that I have to — I just have to say here, everybody around this table is in favor of peace. And we work very hard and we’ve worked very hard during the past few years to have a peace which is a robust and long-standing peace. This is why the idea of a trilateral meeting is very important because this is the only way to fix it. And, by the way, I think, as a follow-up, we would need probably a quadrilateral meeting because when we speak about security guarantees, we speak about the whole security of the European continent. And this is why we are all united here with Ukraine on this matter. In order to organize such a trilateral meeting, your idea to ask for a truce or ceasefire, at least to stop the killings, as we discuss, is a necessity and we we all support this idea.”
