A British -French failure to reach a proposal for a month in Ukraine


The French News Agency, quoting a British minister as saying that London and Paris have failed to reach a proposal for a month in Ukraine.

The Minister of State for the Armed Forces, Luke Pollard, said on Monday that France and Britain did not agree to propose a partial truce in Ukraine, which French President Emmanuel Macron spoke on Sunday.


The minister told Radio Times: “There has been no armistice agreement,” the minister told the Times Radio. A British government official said that “no one -month truce was agreed upon.”

Before that, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer said they had suggested a month’s truce in Ukraine.

Macron explained in statements reported by “Le Figaro” that the truce includes stopping attacks in the air and sea, stopping targeting the energy infrastructure, and then entering into stopping the war.

The leaders of allied countries for Ukraine held a summit in London to show their support for Kev and a commitment to carry out more security in Europe and to enhance defensive spending, while adhering to the need for strong support from the United States, after the sharp argument between Presidents Donald Trump and Volodimir Zellinski, while Washington has escalated pressure on the Ukrainian president again, by hinting on officials in it to the necessity of the necessity His departure.

After the summit, which was held on Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron told the newspaper “Le Vigaro” that Paris and London are proposing a month -old truce in Ukraine, including “the air, sea, and energy infrastructure.”

He also suggested that the European countries raise their defensive spending to between 3 and 3.5% of GDP, in the face of changing US policies during the Trump era, which started talks with Russia to end the war in Ukraine, without the Europeans and Kiev being called.

For his part, British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer said, after the end of the meeting in London, which was attended by Zelinski, that “Europe must bear the greatest burden, but in order to support peace in our continent, and success in this, this effort must be of strong support from the United States.” (Al -Arabiya)
