Paris (dpa-AfX)-The plan proposed by the British Prime Minister Keir and France President Emmanuel Macron to add up to the Ukraine War provides for a one-month ceasefire to create space for diplomatic solutions. As Macron explained in an interview with the French newspaper “Le Figaro”, the plan as the first de -escalation measure provides for a “ceasefire in the air, at sea and in the area of energy infrastructure”.
According to the plan, the fights on the front in Eastern Ukraine would apparently not be affected. According to Macron, the advantage of such a concept is that violations of such a limited ceasefire are easier to check. One should not forget that the front line currently corresponds to the distance between Paris and Budapest.
In the interview, Macron makes it clear that the plan proposed at the London summit to use European troops on Ukrainian soil is only possible if the negotiations have been successful and there is a stable ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. In a first phase like the proposed one -month ceasefire, no soldiers would be sent.
Such an ceasefire should create space for diplomatic solutions and lay the basis for negotiations. Macron warned peace in Ukraine, but not at all costs. He emphasized that security guarantees were essential.
