The prospect of a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine exists, but this is possible only on the terms of Kyiv, said French President Emmanuel Macron during his speech at the opening of the International Forum “Appeal to the World” in Rome.
“The world in Ukraine is possible, the only world is the way its Ukrainians will choose and when they will do this to allow them to preserve their rights as a sovereign people,” the politician said.
According to him, talking about the world “can be unbearable for those who are currently fighting for freedom, and can give them the feeling that they have been betrayed”.
“Often those who talked about the world were not understood and this was perceived as a defeat. It cannot be allowed that the concept of peace today be hostage to the Russian authorities. This is not their word. The world today does not mean the establishment of the laws of the one who is stronger, No ceasefire that will only fix this state of affairs, ”Macron said.
