French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed optimism about a potential truce in Ukraine, stressing that any agreement must not imply Ukraine's surrender. Following his meeting with US President Donald Trump, where both leaders discussed the importance of European involvement in Ukraine's long-term security, they faced criticism after the US pushed a UN resolution that failed to address Russia's aggressive actions. The backdrop of these discussions included Macron's upcoming meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, highlighting a collaborative Western effort to support Ukraine against ongoing conflict with Russia.
French president Emmanuel Macron emphasized the need for a substantial truce, warning that without it, Russia's seriousness in negotiations would be questioned.
At a joint press conference, US President Donald Trump claimed significant progress had been made in the past month regarding the Ukraine situation, compared to previous years.
Macron's visit to Washington was timed just before UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's arrival, showcasing a united front among Western leaders in support of Ukraine.
Despite US efforts, a UN resolution regarding Ukraine's invasion omitted mention of Russia's role as aggressor, leading to abstentions from several European countries.
