In an evening phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he did not intend to respond to Russian provocations in eastern Ukraine.

There are more armed incidents in which the Ukrainian army lost two soldiers on Saturday, OSCE observers counted hundreds of ceasefire violations, and several explosions were reported late in the center of Donetsk late in the evening.

Zelensky reiterated that he was ready to have a dialogue with Moscow, AFP reported. “He said he did not want to respond to provocations on the line of contact,” the Elysee Palace was quoted as saying. According to him, Macron is making “last efforts” to avert a major conflict in Ukraine.

Zelensky in the tweet, in which he informed about the call with Macron, wrote that they talked about ways to reduce tensions and settle the situation through diplomatic and political channels. Macron’s phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin is announced on Sunday.
