‘No politics’: French President Macron on Telegram founder’s arrest
Telegram on Monday said that "it is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform".
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit during the G7 Summit for talks with allies and major developing nations is a “way to build peace”, French President Emmanuel Macron said Sunday.
Taking to Twitter, Macron said, “Allowing President Zelenskyy to go and plead and obtain very clear international support in Jeddah at the Arab League Summit, then in Hiroshima at the G7, is a way of building peace, of avoiding a partition of the world. This is the meaning of our diplomacy.” Earlier, the Ukrainian President and France’s leader met with each other on May 14, 2023, in Paris.
