French President Emmanuel Macron said the stationing of peacekeeping troops in Ukraine, as proposed by Britain and France as part of a ceasefire agreement with Russia, is a question for Kyiv to decide and not Moscow.

French President Emmanuel Macron has called on Moscow to "give a clear answer" on the possibility of a ceasefire in Ukraine, saying that "Russia does not give the impression of a country that sincerely wants peace".

In an evening address French President Emmanuel Macron Macron said he will confer with European allies on the idea of using France's nuclear deterrent to protect the continent in the face of threats from Russia.
