Après la réunion par visioconférence de quelque 25 dirigeants occidentaux organisée par le premier ministre britannique, Keir Starmer, le président de la République a notamment estimé que la Russie « ne donne pas l’impression de vouloir la paix sincèrement ».
In March 2025, amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, Emmanuel Macron stated that Russia has no say if Ukraine requests allied forces on its territory. He accused Russia of insincerity in peace efforts, citing its refusal to accept a proposed truce and its intensified fighting. The US Secretary of State and Russian Foreign Minister discussed further talks to end the war. The US appointed a special envoy to work directly with Zelensky and Ukrainian authorities. Zelensky accused Russia of delaying truce talks to strengthen its battlefield position, adding that Russia only understands pressure. Australia's Prime Minister affirmed support for Ukraine.
