Emmanuel Macron a rappelé que l’aide à l’Ukraine n’est pas financée «par des impôts cachés ou supplémentaires».

Overview

  • European leaders at the Paris summit reaffirmed their commitment to Ukraine's security, announcing €2 billion in French military aid and rejecting any easing of sanctions on Russia.
  • The coalition proposed a 'force of reassurance,' a European military deployment in Ukraine post-peace agreement, aimed at deterring future aggression rather than frontline engagement.
  • A Franco-British mission will assess Ukraine's military needs and prepare for potential European troop deployments under a future peace framework.
  • Vladimir Putin suggested a UN-led transitional administration to organize new elections in Ukraine, a move dismissed by European and Ukrainian leaders as undermining Ukraine's sovereignty.
  • The fragile moratorium on strikes against energy infrastructure continues to face violations, with Russia and Ukraine trading accusations of non-compliance.
