Macron says useful to ‘leave path open’ for dialogue with Putin

BRUSSELS, Belgium — French President Emmanuel Macron says it was useful to keep alive the chance of dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin after he launched an invasion of Ukraine.

Macron says after a summit of EU leaders that “while condemning, while sanctioning” it remained useful “to leave this path open so that the day when the conditions can be fulfilled, we can obtain a cessation of hostilities.”
