French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday he was prepared to travel to Kyiv or any other city in Ukraine only if he felt his visit would help in the current crisis, Reuters reports.
"I am ready to go anywhere and even to Kyiv if it could be useful, if it would help start a dialogue," Macron told BFM television.
"My compatriots expect me to do my best to end the war," he said.
At the same time, Paris declared six Russian diplomats persona non grata. They are accused of carrying out activities against the national interests of France, according to the country's Foreign Ministry.
The Russian Foreign Ministry also said that Moscow's response would not be late.
According to the official representative of the Ministry Maria Zakharova, the deportations of Russian diplomats cannot change Moscow's position on Ukraine.
