Macron says Zelensky letter to Putin a 'good initiative'

French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday welcomed Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelensky's appeal for direct talks with Russia's Vladimir Putin, saying it was "time" to resume dialogue with Moscow.

"I believe that it is now up to Ukraine and Russia to establish both a ceasefire and a peace plan. It is the Europeans who can help with this," Macron said at a summit of EU and Balkan leaders in Montenegro.
