YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Macron met with Putin for about six hours in a bid to inject momentum into discussions on the Kremlin’s European security demands and efforts to revive the stalled Ukraine peace process.

Putin said that some of the ideas proposed by Macron, who heads to Kyiv Tuesday to meet Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, could form “the basis for future common steps” and he pledged to do “everything to find compromises.” At the same time, Putin stuck to a tough stance, repeating his country’s complaints about NATO moving its borders close to Russia and warning that Ukrainian membership in the military bloc could provoke conflict.

Putin said the U.S.’s written response to Russia’s call for legal guarantees for an end to NATO’s eastward expansion and a pullback of its military presence from central and eastern Europe ignored the main demands and focused on secondary issues. He added that Russia is still preparing its answers for Washington and NATO.
