French President Emmanuel Macron understands that there is no truce for Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the Olympics are not an authority. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with Hugo Décrypte.
Recently, French President Emmanuel Macron said he would work to achieve a ceasefire during the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris. In his opinion, this is in line with the Games' long-standing goal of promoting peace through sport.
According to Macron, in his proposal, he had in mind the Middle East, as well as Ukraine and Sudan.
According to the President of Ukraine, he does not believe in this format of a truce.
"I do not believe in this with Russia. I do not believe in this format of truce in general, I do not believe in any format of truce with the Russian Federation. Emanuel knows this, he witnessed it himself, we were together in the Normandy format. We went through the whole Minsk process together. France, Germany, Ukraine - we are all living witnesses, not in books, but we are living witnesses, that there is no such thing as a frozen conflict with Russia. This is a matter of regrouping with Russia and giving them even more forces to destroy us. We have been through this," Zelensky said.
He recalled that a similar situation had already occurred when the Normandy format agreements were signed. Then there were also agreements on a cease-fire period. However, even then there were people who fired at the Ukrainian military.
"They trained their snipers, who went through and killed our people every day. There is evidence of this. Emanuel knows all this. They were just going hunting. We heard it all through phone intercepts from our intelligence. They had a group of 20-30 specialists who were killing our people every day for several months in a row, even though there was a cease-fire. With sniper shots. That is, for Putin, there is no truce, no Olympics, no authority," Zelensky said.
