French President Macron emphasized the importance of maintaining Ukrainian sovereignty in negotiations on ending the war with Russia. Meeting with U.S. President Trump, Macron argued that a ceasefire should not lead to a surrender or lack of guarantees for Ukraine. Despite some optimism from the leaders, significant differences remain regarding security measures to prevent future aggression from Russia. The discussion foreshadows upcoming agreements, including potential economic concessions from Ukraine and the deployment of European troops to monitor compliance with any ceasefire.

Macron highlighted that previous agreements did not prevent further aggression, emphasizing a need for true security guarantees to avoid repeating past mistakes.
