French President Emmanuel Macron urged Europe to prepare for Ukraine’s defense without U.S. support, warning of Russia’s ongoing threat. In a televised address, he stressed the need for more arms and defense investment, adding that European forces might be needed post-war. British PM Keir Starmer echoed his stance amid tensions between Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The U.S. paused Ukraine aid, while Zelenskyy signaled openness to a minerals deal. Macron insisted, “Peace cannot mean Ukraine’s capitulation.” With U.S. ties strained, Europe faces growing pressure to secure Ukraine’s future.
