French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday cautioned against the use of escalating “words or actions” if a peace agreement or ceasefire is to be achieved in Ukraine.

A day before, President Joe Biden said in a speech that President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” and had more critical words for the Russian leader. The comment prompted the White House to issue statements that Biden did not mean that the United States is pushing for a regime change in Russia.
