Emmanuel Macron: Western countries will increase pressure on Russia in the next 8-10 days.
The French leader reported that he discussed this with the presidents of the USA and Ukraine, Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, in the Vatican on April 26, the day of the funeral of Pope Francis.
Macron believes he was able to convince the Americans "of the possibility of escalating threats and possibly imposing sanctions to force the Russians to agree to a ceasefire."
