"Territorial questions concerning Ukraine can be, and will be, negotiated only by the Ukrainian president," Macron told reporters after a call with US President Donald Trump.
Trump will, at a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Friday, be seeking a ceasefire in Ukraine, Macron said, adding this objective was "very important" and had "our support".
Trump would also be pushing for a trilateral meeting with Putin and Zelensky in the future, Macron said, adding that he hoped such a meeting could be held in Europe "in a neutral country that is acceptable to all parties".
The French president said that there were currently "no serious land swap proposals" on the table.
