The UN’s Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for the world truce on March 23, warning that in war-torn countries, health systems have collapsed and the small number of health professionals left were often targeted in the fighting. The French leader said he was hopeful of securing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s agreement in the coming hours.

“I think that for sure President Putin will agree and the day he says he does, we’ll be able to hold this videoconference and relay this call in a solemn, forceful and efficient way.”

Does it matter what Putin says they’ll do? They will say one thing while doing the opposite. Worthless endorsement

This is a real-time presentation of how weak trump has made America. The United States of America always leads the way when the world needs us. Our allies don’t even want to come to us for guidance. Under our current admin we are failing badly

Very good move. How about temporary lifting of sanctions on countries at this critical time for them to access and procure drugs and medical equipments to contain the COVID-19 pandemic in their respective countries?

But that will mean the West will have to put aside persecuting Muslims and that would hurt their fealings 😥.

Are they going to ask the Saudi warmongers to stop bombing the f_ck out of Yemen and for the Israelis to behave themselves? That would be a miracle

A leader leads by example: he is wearing a mask.

😁

Macron the damages already done, the hole are big and visible, bisheet can buy and use cacao.

Yah but Putin hasn’t been out in the media for awhile... who knows
