Tuesday Briefing: The Ukraine War's 3rd Anniversary
Briefly

President Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron met at the White House on the anniversary of the war in Ukraine, discussing the convoluted situation of Western alliances. Trump suggested the conflict might conclude in a matter of weeks and hinted at a trip to Moscow. Notably, the U.S. opposed a European U.N. resolution that aimed to condemn Russia's aggression, choosing to back a less confrontational approach, thus risking tensions with European allies and complicating Ukraine's diplomatic landscape under Zelensky's leadership.
Trump suggested to reporters alongside Macron that the fighting in Ukraine could be resolved within weeks, indicating a potential visit to Moscow this spring.
The U.S. dismissed a European proposal at the U.N. to condemn Russia's actions, favoring a resolution that merely sought an end to hostilities.
