Mr Macron did not rule out the possibility that the time would come "to have fair and good negotiations, and to return to the negotiating table and find a solution with Russia".

However, he added that it was entirely up to Kiev to make a decision, but the time was not right. The French president also called on all countries to continue supporting Ukraine, expecting that the next month would be crucial for Kiev's counter-offensive.

Mr Macron warned that a Russian victory could “create a new power” in Europe.

On November 9, Russian Presidential Assistant Yury Ushakov said that Moscow is ready for peace talks with Ukraine, but Kiev shows no signs of being ready to participate in negotiations.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on November 10 that Russia will continue its special military campaign in the absence of efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine through diplomatic means, because the most important thing for Moscow is to achieve its goals.

Speaking to reporters, Mr. Peskov emphasized: "The most important thing for Russia is to achieve its goals. In the absence of prerequisites for resolving the conflict through political and diplomatic means, we will continue the special military operation."

Russian President Vladimir Putin also stated that, unlike Kiev, Moscow has never refused to negotiate… Therefore, "I think the ball is completely in their court".

Meanwhile, on November 10, Chief of Staff of the President of Ukraine, Mr. Andriy Ermak, said that the conflict in Ukraine will end suddenly and 70% "is over".

“I don’t think anyone knows when the conflict will end. It will end very suddenly,” Ermak said in a statement. “However, if we compare it to a 100-meter race, I think we have run 70 meters. But the last 30 meters are the most difficult.”
