Macron urges Russia to stop 'stalling tactics' on ceasefire
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|April 08, 2025
French President Emmanuel Macron urged Russia on Monday to stop using "stalling tactics" and to accept a ceasefire in Ukraine as proposed by his US counterpart Donald Trump.
MOSCOW/KYIV: The Kremlin said on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin still supported the idea of a truce in Ukraine, but many unanswered questions remained about how it would work.
US President Donald Trump has been pushing for a speedy ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv since taking office, but his administration has failed to make a breakthrough despite talks with both sides.
"Putin does support the idea that a ceasefire is needed, but before that a whole range of questions have to be answered," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday.
"These questions are hanging in the air, so far no one has given an answer to them," he added, blaming the lack of progress on "the Kyiv regime's uncontrollability".
