Macron: Implementation of Minsk agreements reaches a deadlock, more effective steps needed

Implementation of the Minsk agreements has reached a deadlock, therefore, more effective steps should be taken to change the situation for the better.

This has been said in the press communique promulgated by the Elysee Palace following a telephone conversation between French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"The implementation of the Minsk agreements has reached a deadlock, therefore, it is necessary to take concrete steps in order to change the situation for the better and alleviate suffering of the population on the basis of consolidation of a ceasefire regime and the immediate implementation of humanitarian measures proposed by France and Germany," the document reads.

During the conversation, Macron also called on Putin to contribute to stopping the use of weapons of mass destruction in Syria.
