According to Главком: The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, held a conversation with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, during which they discussed the situation in Ukraine and the progress of work within the 'coalition of the willing'. In particular, Macron noted that efforts to provide security guarantees to Ukraine would continue in Paris starting in January.

Peace process and support for Ukraine

In the context of the peace process, the Russian Federation will demand key changes in the peace plan of the USA and Ukraine, which consists of 20 points. In response, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that if Russia rejects the peace plan, the USA will strengthen military support for Ukraine. Zelensky also emphasized that Ukraine does not recognize Donbas as Russian, as well as spoke about a point in the peace agreement regarding the protection of linguistic and religious minorities.

'As long as Russia continues its aggression, Ukraine continues to fight and demonstrate resilience. It can count on our unwavering support now and in the future.' Emmanuel Macron

Thus, the discussions between Macron and Rutte highlighted the importance of international support for Ukraine in the face of ongoing aggression from Russia.

This conversation between Macron and Rutte reflects not only the relevance of support for Ukraine from Western allies but also the complexity of the peace process, which requires the alignment of positions from all parties. Russia's refusal adds additional challenges to the negotiations, while Ukraine continues to assert its interests on the international stage.

Support from NATO and other countries can be a decisive factor in strengthening Ukraine's defense capability and stabilizing the situation in the region.
