Russia-Ukraine war live: Russians vote in final day of presidential election as Kremlin accuses Kyiv of trying to disrupt poll

Russia counters Macron’s plea for a ceasefire with a demand for France to halt weapon supplies

In response to Emmanuel Macron’s call for a ceasefire in Ukraine during the Olympic games, Russia has requested that France put an end to its weapon deliveries to the country.

The French president made this request during an interview in Paris on Saturday, stating that a ceasefire is “what has always happened,” according to Reuters.

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded to the appeal by urging Macron to cease providing weapons, as reported by the TASS news agency.

Zakharova also noted that Macron should have proposed the same ceasefire to the conflicting parties in the Middle East.
