Macron calls for US-Europe Ukraine plan backed by ‘massive sanctions’
France’s President Emmanuel Macron calls for the speedy drawing up of a US-Europe plan for a 30-day truce in the Russia-Ukraine war that would be backed by “massive sanctions.”
“My wish … is that in the coming hours and coming days, we manage to all come together to commit to a ceasefire, saying that if one of the parties betrays it, there will be massive economic sanctions,” Macron tells Polish television channel Telewizja Polska.
He says that there had to be stronger action “so that we are much more dissuasive, Europeans and Americans united”.
