'Russia Must End Aggression With Guarantees For Ukrainians': French President Macron

<p>French President Emmanuel Macron spoke to US President Donald Trump and then to Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.</p> <p>In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Macron wrote, "After bringing together several European leaders, I have just spoken with President @realDonaldTrump and then with President &nbsp;@ZelenskyyUa. We seek a strong and lasting peace in Ukraine. To achieve this, Russia must end its aggression, and this must be accompanied by strong and credible security guarantees for the Ukrainians. Otherwise, there is a risk that this ceasefire will end up like the Minsk agreements."</p> <p>He added, "We will work on this together with all Europeans, Americans, and Ukrainians. This is the key. We are convinced that Europeans must invest better, more, and together in their security and defense&mdash;both for today and for the future."</p> <p>"To this end, Europeans want to accelerate the implementation of their own agenda for sovereignty, security, and competitiveness. Work will continue based on the European Commission&rsquo;s proposals, both in supporting Ukraine and in developing and investing in our defense. This agenda, defined in 2022 at the Versailles Summit, must simply be carried out. Decisions, actions, coherence. Quickly. I will continue these discussions in the coming days", he continued.</p>
