This is posturing. There are plenty of actions France can/should take that doesn't involve a peace talk between the US and Russia. But he won't take any drastic decisions because he's a puppet and puppets do what they are told.
It's true that the only real options he has are those within the range of "US acceptable"... The US don't want a peace talk with russia, at least not under this admin... I'm not certain the next admin will be that much different regarding foreign policy btw
It's a conflict between US and russia, the rest are proxies
