Macron suggests Ukraine truce could be weeks away
WASHINGTON — French President Emmanuel Macron has said a truce between Ukraine and Russia could be agreed in the coming weeks.He was speaking to Fox News in Washington following talks with Donald Trump at the White House on the third anniversary of Russia's invasion.The US president, who suggested the war could end "within weeks", insisted Europe should shoulder the cost and burden of any peacekeeping deal for Ukraine.Macron said any peace deal in Ukraine must "not be a surrender of Ukraine" and must be backed by security guarantees.The arrival of Trump for a second term at the White House was a "game changer", the French leader said.He said he believed it was "feasible" to talk about a truce in the war and the start of negotiations for...

US sides with Russia in UN resolutions on Ukraine
NEW YORK — The US has twice sided with Russia in votes at the UN to mark the third anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, highlighting the Trump administration's change of stance on the war.First, the two countries opposed a European-drafted resolution condemning Moscow's actions and supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity, which was passed by the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.Then they backed a US-drafted resolution at the UN Security Council calling for an end to the conflict but containing no criticism of Russia.The Security Council resolution was passed but two key US allies, the UK and France, abstained in the vote after their attempts to amend the wording were vetoed.The competing resolutions were tabled as French President Emmanuel Macron visited...

Macron managed to navigate what could have been a tricky day in Washington without conceding or revealing too much
Macron walks tightrope with Trump as he makes Europe's case on Ukraine
WASHINGTON — Relations between Europe and the US are unquestionably in crisis, so merely keeping things together as French President Emmanuel Macron did at the White House on Monday stands as an achievement.He did that by praising, flattering and gently cajoling the US president as they took questions in the Oval Office and held a joint news conference. This is a playbook that many leaders around the world now see as more productive than outright plain speaking or criticism of Trump.Macron managed to navigate what could have been a tricky day in Washington without conceding or revealing too much.He spoke of both countries wanting peace, and while he gently corrected one of Trump's claims on Europe's support for Ukraine, he also agreed that Europe needed to take more...

Friedrich Merz says he is eager to re-engage with international partners
New German leader signals seismic shift in transatlantic relations
BERLIN — Germany's chancellor-in-waiting didn't wait for the final results of his country's election on Sunday to herald a new era in Europe.Declaring the US indifferent to this continent's fate, Friedrich Merz questioned the future of Nato and demanded Europe boost its own defenses. Quickly.This tone from the close US ally – and from Friedrich Merz who is known to be a passionate Atlanticist – would have been unimaginable even a couple of months ago.It's a seismic shift. That may read like hyperbole, but what we are now experiencing in terms of transatlantic relations is unprecedented in the 80 years since the end of World War Two.Big European powers have been shocked to the core by the Trump administration, which suggests it could revoke the security guarantees...

Zelensky willing to give up presidency in exchange for Nato membership
LONDON — Volodymyr Zelensky said he would be willing to "give up" his presidency in exchange for peace ahead of the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine."If to achieve peace you really need me to give up my post – I'm ready. I can trade it for Nato membership, if there are such conditions," the Ukrainian president said in response to a question during a news conference.His comments came after US President Donald Trump called Zelensky a "dictator without elections" earlier in the week."I wasn't offended, but a dictator would be," Zelensky, who was democratically elected in May 2019, responded on Sunday."I am focused on Ukraine's security today, not in 20 years, I am not going to be in power for...

WASHINGTON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky needs to return to the negotiating table and strike a deal on US access to Ukraine's critical minerals, White House national security adviser Mike Waltz has said.On Wednesday, Zelensky rejected US demands for a share of its rare earth minerals — a "deal" Trump said would reflect the amount of aid the US had provided to Ukraine during its war with Russia.The comments, made at a White House briefing on Thursday, overshadowed a meeting in Kyiv between Zelensky and Keith Kellogg, the US chief envoy to Ukraine.Waltz said the White House was "very frustrated" with Zelensky after he leveled "unacceptable" insults at US President Donald Trump earlier this week.Ukraine holds huge deposits of critical elements...
