Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy had a phone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, on Saturday; they talked about de-escalation in eastern Ukraine.
In the "urgent" phone conversation, the two leaders discussed possible ways of immediate de-escalation and political-diplomatic settlement in eastern Ukraine.
"(I)Informed about the aggravation on the frontline, our losses, the shelling," Zelenskiy wrote in a tweet.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskiy asserted that he wanted to convene a meeting of world powers to secure new security guarantees for his country.
Moreover, the Ukrainian President urged the NATO members to be honest about whether they wanted Ukraine to join the alliance or not.
He called on the world to learn the "terrible lessons from history" and chided the international community for what he said was the appeasing of Russia.
"The rules that the world agreed on decades ago no longer work. They do not keep up with new threats. Not effective for overcoming them. This is a cough syrup when you need a coronavirus vaccine," he said.
"The security system is slow. It crashes again. Because of selfishness, self-confidence, irresponsibility of states at the global level," he added.
