PARIS — Russian President Vladimir Putin tells his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron that Moscow plans to achieve its aims in Ukraine either through diplomacy or military means, the Elysee says.
Russia would reach its objectives in Ukraine “either through negotiation or through war,” Putin tells Macron according to a French presidential official.
The official adds that the Russian president also pledged “it was not his intention” to attack Ukrainian nuclear sites.
Europe’s largest atomic power plant was attacked and seized by invading Russian forces on Friday.
Ukraine has four nuclear plants with a total of 15 reactors.
