Macron refuses to meet with Putin

Macron explained that there is no need to initiate dialogue with Putin at this time, but that it makes sense to deepen cooperation within the EU, according to Le Figaro.

"It's not a matter of days, we are preparing everything. I think that now we need to focus on ourselves, on what we want to ask for," he said.

In December, he announced his intention to resume direct contacts with Putin, which had been largely interrupted due to the war in Ukraine, and in early February sent his diplomatic adviser to Moscow to prepare for them.

“What do we want? We want security guarantees for Ukraine, but we also want certain things for Europeans,” he said.
