French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his readiness to call Russian President Vladimir Putin, after Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders agreeing to this. His words are quoted by Le Point.

"I am ready to talk to President Putin when President Zelensky, I and our European partners consider that it's the right time" Macron said.
