French President Emmanuel Macron proposed a month-long truce between Russia and Ukraine during a summit in London, suggesting it could pave the way for lasting peace. The truce would focus on air, sea, and energy infrastructure but not ground fighting. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot emphasized that this would test Russia's commitment to peace negotiations. However, UK officials were skeptical, and Italian Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani deemed the idea premature. The proposal faces challenges, including concerns about verifying compliance and the potential for Russia to regroup militarily.
