French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday agreed to work on a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, said Macron’s office and the Kremlin said in separate statements.
“In view of the urgency of the situation, the Presidents acknowledged the need to intensify the search for solutions through diplomatic means via the foreign ministries and political advisers to the leaders of the Normandy format,” the Kremlin said in a statement, adding that it “should facilitate the restoration of the ceasefire regime and ensure progress in the settlement of the conflict in Donbas.”
