French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met in Paris on Friday to discuss increasing sanctions pressure on Russia, particularly targeting its "shadow fleet" of oil tankers, as the U.S. has granted limited exemptions from Russia sanctions amid Middle East tensions. Macron stated Russia is mistaken if it believes the Iran conflict will ease pressure on it, while the leaders also discussed diplomatic efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict as U.S.-proposed peace talks stall.
