Emmanuel Macron stated that Russia is reinterpreting the agreements made in the Black Sea ceasefire talks as he met with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Elysee Palace in Paris. Both Ukraine and Russia had previously agreed to a tentative ceasefire involving the Black Sea and strikes on energy infrastructure. However, drone strikes were reported shortly after the agreements were reached. Macron condemned the strikes, emphasizing that Russia continuously strikes Ukrainian territory despite claims of seeking peace. The summit included discussions about potential military support for Ukraine and the idea of a European armed force in case of a Russian attack. Both leaders express hope that the US will play a crucial role in leading Putin to accept a ceasefire. The meeting precedes a summit of European leaders to discuss future security measures for Ukraine.

Additionally, there are positive signs in US-Ukraine relations, with a renewed willingness to work with Donald Trump to end the conflict, following strained relations after a tumultuous White House meeting.
