PARIS, May 16 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said he had spoken to U.S. President Donald Trump while in Albania for a meeting of top European leaders with Ukraine's President, and that Russia was not showing that it was ready for peace in Ukraine.
"We just had a phone call with @POTUS while in Albania. Once again, President Putin refuses to respond to the unconditional ceasefire proposal put forward by the Americans and supported by Ukraine and the Europeans," wrote Macron on X.
"By rejecting the ceasefire and dialogue with Ukraine, Russia shows it does not want peace and is merely trying to buy time by continuing the war," added Macron.
