Macron says the West must think about how to deal with Russia's need for security guarantees Should President Vladimir Putin agree to negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine
The West must think about how to deal with Russia's need for security guarantees, if President Vladimir Putin agrees to negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron said in remarks to a television network on Saturday.
As reported by Reuters, Macron said Europe must respond to Putin's fears that "NATO is coming out of its door" and weapons development could threaten Russia as Europe prepares for its future security architecture.
Meanwhile, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu held talks with his Belarusian counterpart, according to state news agency Belta. Belarus has said it will not go to war with Ukraine, but President Alexander Lukashenko has previously ordered the deployment of troops with Russian forces near the border with Ukraine, citing threats to Belarus from Kiev and the West.
