French President Emmanuel Macron has urged tougher sanctions on Russia if Vladimir Putin refuses a peace deal in Ukraine. Speaking after talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders at the White House, Macron stressed the need for a strong Ukrainian military capable of resisting aggression. He dismissed reports that Ukraine was pressured to cede territory. Macron also expressed hope that Russia and Ukraine would resume dialogue soon, with a potential trilateral summit involving Trump, Putin, and Zelenskyy within weeks.
