Macron expressed his solidarity with the children and all civilians killed in Russia’s deadly strikes on Kryvyi Rih on April 4, coinciding with Ukraine’s national day of mourning.

He noted that last night, numerous Russian airstrikes also targeted residential areas in Kyiv and other cities across Ukraine:

“Ukraine accepted President Trump’s proposal for a full and unconditional 30-day ceasefire nearly a month ago and, while working with all our partners to secure peace, Russia continues the war with renewed intensity, disregarding civilians.”

Macron said: “These Russian attacks must stop. A ceasefire must be achieved as soon as possible. And if Russia continues to stall and reject peace, strong measures will follow.”
