Macron Calls for Ukraine-Russia Ceasefire During Paris Olympics

French President Emmanuel Macron has requested Russia to observe a ceasefire in Ukraine throughout the duration of the Paris Olympics, emphasizing peace and the Olympic spirit.

French President Emmanuel Macron has requested Russia to observe a ceasefire in Ukraine during the 17 days of the Paris Olympics, aiming to promote a message of peace.
Russia rejects the ceasefire plea, with the Russian foreign ministry urging Macron to stop weapon supplies to Ukraine instead.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has allowed Russian athletes to compete under a neutral flag, despite imposing restrictions due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Russian representation at the Paris Olympics might be significantly lower than previous years, with expectations of as few as 40 athletes participating.
Ukraine condemns the decision to allow Russian athletes, calling it 'shameful,' while the Russian Olympic Committee criticizes the restrictions as 'illegitimate, unfair and unacceptable.'
