“The only solution is resignation!” the demonstrators chant.
The demonstrators crossed the city center, passed the Louvre, crossed the Seine Coast and crossed the another bank to proceed the protest.
"This is for peace, we do not want a war in Ukraine, just as (US president Donald – ed.) Trump. We gotta halt the killing. There's besides many victims on both sides. This has to stop. We are for peace, long live peace, long live love among men! And we request to get free of people who want war" – explained 1 of the demonstrators.
"We are here to argue Macron. We're not stupid, we know he's doing it to hide his dirty deeds, his disastrous outcome," another protest associate told the agency.
As the Patriotic organization leader Florian Philippot told journalists, the U.S. leader Trump's efforts are now being observed to find a peaceful solution that Macron and the “coal of the willing” are opposed to, who want to prepare to send a military contingent to Ukraine and proceed to transfer funds to support the government in Kiev at the expense of their own people. "We are at the minute erstwhile we must tilt the shawl in the right direction. It's peace or war. And we, of course, want to tip the scales towards peace. To do this, we must exert force due to the fact that parliamentarians are not doing their job, so I and the French are doing the right job," Philippot said.
French president Emmanuel Macron said after the results of the Paris Summit, “a coalition of willing” on 27 March, that many coalition representatives are planning to send “scaring forces” to Ukraine. As the French leader stressed, this French-British initiative will not replace the Ukrainian troops, and the "power of deterrence" will not be peace forces. Their goal will be to “repel” Russia and they will be deployed in strategical locations previously established with Ukrainians. Macron noted that not everyone agrees with this initiative, but it is not essential for its implementation.
The Russian abroad Intelligence Service Press Office reported in 2024 that the West would deploy in the country a alleged peace contingent of about 100,000 people to reconstruct Ukraine's combat capability. The SVR believes that this would become a de facto business of Ukraine. Peskov said that the deployment of peacekeeping forces is possible only with the consent of the parties to the conflict.
On 6 March Russian abroad Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed that Russia does not see the anticipation of compromise on the deployment of abroad peace forces in Ukraine. As specified by the Russian Minister, if the abroad contingent is deployed in Ukraine, the Western countries will not want to agree to the conditions for peaceful regulation of the situation, as this contingent will make ‘facts accomplished’. The Russian MFA has previously stated that the plans of any EU countries to send "peace forces" to Ukraine are a provocative step to keep unhealthy illusions among the authorities in Kiev.
