French President Emmanuel Macron has denied warning Ukraine about the potential for a US betrayal in support of its war effort.
Macron's comments came after German magazine Spiegel reported that he and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had expressed scepticism about US efforts to negotiate a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia during a confidential phone call. However, Macron quickly dismissed the report, saying that there was "no mistrust" between Europe and the US on the issue of Ukraine.
In his comments to reporters in China, Macron emphasized the importance of unity between Europe and the US on the Ukrainian issue and stressed the need for cooperation to achieve lasting peace. He also denied any suggestion that Washington could betray Ukraine, saying that the US needs Europe for a lasting and robust peace.
Macron's comments come as tensions between Russia and Ukraine remain high, with ongoing fighting in eastern Ukraine and Russian forces continuing to advance in the Donbas region. The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of aggression and violations of international law.
Despite these challenges, Macron has continued to maintain a strong stance on supporting Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of unity between Europe and the US on this issue.
