🇫🇷🇺🇦 Macron: The latest exchanges with the American envoys have shown this: Vladimir Putin does not want to negotiate. His army is not advancing. It is even retreating and suffering considerable losses. But it is clear that he is betting on forcing Ukraine to capitulate by increasing strikes against civilians and seeking to plunge the country into darkness this winter. Our responsibility is to thwart this gamble. This means maintaining our financial support and helping protect its population.
