How much longer will Russia toy with peace offers from the United States and Ukraine, while continuing to kill children and civilians?

Axar.az reports French President Emmanuel Macron made this statement on X.

"On this day of national mourning in Ukraine, my thoughts are with the children and all civilian victims of the deadly strikes carried out by Russia, such as in Kryvyi Rih on April 4.

Again last night, numerous Russian strikes targeted residential areas in Kyiv and several other Ukrainian cities.

While Ukraine accepted President Trump’s proposal for a full and unconditional 30-day ceasefire nearly a month ago, and as we work with all our partners to secure peace, Russia continues its war with renewed intensity, showing no regard for civilians.

These Russian strikes must stop. A ceasefire must be reached as soon as possible. And strong action must follow if Russia continues to stall and reject peace," he wrote.
