Oyogist has learned that French President, Emmanuel Macron has said that Russian President Vladimir Putin told him in their marathon talks a day earlier that Moscow would not further escalate the Ukraine crisis.
Macron’s remarks came after the Kremlin denied that he and Putin struck a deal on de-escalating the crisis.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “in the current situation, Moscow and Paris can’t be reaching any deals”.
According to Macron, he believed steps can be taken to de-escalate the crisis and called on all sides to stay calm.
Both Putin and Zelenskyy had told him they were committed to the principles of a 2014 peace agreement, he said, adding that this deal, known as the Minsk accords, offered a path to resolving their continuing disputes.
