"Citing notes from a recent conference call between Macron, Zelensky, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and other European leaders, Der Spiegel revealed some ominous comments from Macron in particular. The piece, entitled We Must Not Leave Ukraine and Volodymyr Alone with These Guys, appeared in English on Der Spiegels Substack page. There is a chance that the U.S. will betray Ukraine on territory without clarity on security guarantees, Macron said at one point of the call, adding that there is a big danger for Zelensky."
"The notes also mention Merz telling Zelensky, They are playing games with both you and us. It's unclear who they refers to, but Der Spiegel has speculated it includes President Donald Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, and son-in-law Jared Kushner. It's not the first time Macron and Merz have expressed doubts about Trump's bid to stop the fighting between Russia and Ukraine."
French and German leaders voiced deep skepticism about U.S. efforts to broker peace in Ukraine, highlighting a risk that Ukraine could be betrayed on territory lacking clear security guarantees. European officials expressed concern about opaque intermediaries and a missed U.S.-imposed deadline that undercut confidence in the process. Leaders warned that negotiators might be 'playing games' with allied interests and that reliance on current U.S. diplomacy could leave Ukrainian security and sovereignty vulnerable. The doubts reflect broader European apprehension over enforceable guarantees and the reliability of U.S.-led peace proposals.
