Emmanuel Macron stated that the territorial issues in Ukraine have not been finalized and that only President Zelensky can conclude this process, considering it the most difficult aspect. Regarding the use of frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine, Macron mentioned that European states are in a preliminary phase, facing blockages due to Belgium's opposition, which fears possible international lawsuits.
The Ukrainian president emphasized that the peace plan proposed by Washington has been improved, but that Ukrainian law does not allow for the cession of territories. These statements were made before a meeting between an American envoy and Vladimir Putin, which raises suspicions in Europe, where there are fears that Ukraine could be forced to accept a disadvantageous agreement, especially after the resignation of Zelensky's chief of staff.
