In an online message, French President Emmanuel Macron described the latest Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and the urban population as an example of the hypocrisy with which Russia is negotiating the delicate ceasefire of recent days.

The French President described these attacks as the most significant in recent years, stressing that by bombing civilians Russia is demonstrating less its power and more its weakness.

Emmanuel Macron says Russia no longer has solutions at the military level and does not know how to end its war of aggression. France will stand by Ukraine and its population and will continue to be active to achieve a cessation of hostilities and a just and lasting peace that guarantees the security of both Ukraine and Europe, the French President concluded
