Macron, Zelensky and Starmer spoke on the phone on Saturday European allies have rallied behind Ukraine in a renewed surge of support, insisting that any peace talks with Russia must include Kyiv. A joint statement issued by the leaders of the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Finland and the European Commission came ahead of US President Donald Trump's meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.
Main Idea: European allies are pressing Trump not to make any Ukraine peace deal with Putin unless Ukraine is part of the talks.
Key Points:
A Trump-Putin deal that excludes Ukraine could unsettle markets, keep war risks high, and leave US taxpayers and consumers exposed to more energy and security costs.
A real peace deal with Ukraine included could lower global tension and reduce pressure on prices, trade, and defense spending.
