Zelenskyy Attends Emergency EU Summit in Brussels

French President Emmanuel Macron has warned of Russia's threat to Europe, urging European nations to bolster their defense capabilities and prepare for the possibility of reduced U.S. support under President Donald Trump's administration, which has paused military aid to Ukraine. Macron emphasized that Europe must remain vigilant against Russian aggression and not rely solely on the U.S. for security assurances. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Brussels for an emergency EU summit to discuss further support for Ukraine amid U.S. pressures to negotiate peace with Russia. The summit seeks to increase military spending and address Europe's security needs, as Trump’s administration also engages in discussions with Ukrainian opposition figures about potential early elections. Russia has criticized Macron's statements as confrontational, seeing them as a threat while dismissing European proposals for peacekeepers in Ukraine.
