But with Macron it would be with conditions.
Macron said any peace deal in Ukraine must "not be a surrender of Ukraine" and must be backed by security guarantees.

Macron said he had spoken to 30 other European leaders and allies and many of them were willing to be part of security guarantees for Ukraine.
I’m talking about a plain vanilla cease-fire. No concessions, no movement of the battle lines. Everybody pauses in place and just stop the killing. Then we can talk.
I’m wondering if anyone on this board would object to that?
