Macron: Putin refuses to stop attacks on Ukraine

“I spoke to President Putin this morning. He refuses to stop his attacks on Ukraine at this point,” Macron posted on Twitter.

The French leader underscores “it is vital” to maintain dialogue to avoid human tragedy.

“I will continue my efforts and contacts. We must avoid the worst,” he added.

As reported, on February 24, Russian president Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine and launched a large-scale invasion.

Russian troops are killing civilians, shelling and destroying key infrastructure facilities, and missiles hit Ukrainians' homes.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of the entire nation, courageously resist Russian aggression.
