French President Emmanuel Macron, after meeting Donald Trump in Washington DC, stated that a Ukraine ceasefire could be reached within weeks. He emphasized that negotiations must include both Ukraine and Europe, warning against a rushed US-Russia deal. Trump has agreed to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Macron stressed the need for security guarantees to prevent future Russian aggression, proposing a European troop presence in Ukraine. He also backed US access to rare earth minerals as part of the agreement. With over 6 million Ukrainian refugees and a $524 billion reconstruction cost, a resolution remains critical.
