"I spoke with President Macron about his visit to America; we are coordinating our actions. Emmanuel, thank you for your support!" – said Zelensky.
Macron visited Washington on February 24 at the invitation of Trump, marking the third anniversary of the start of Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine, the Élysée Palace reported.
A significant portion of the discussion between Trump and Macron focused on how to ensure compliance by the aggressor nation, Russia, with the ceasefire conditions and to avoid a repeat of the Minsk agreements of 2015-2016, when Moscow failed to meet its obligations in eastern Ukraine, the Financial Times wrote, citing sources.
France, along with the United Kingdom, previously stated that they are ready to take on the primary burden of post-war security in Ukraine but require logistical and intelligence support from the U.S.
An unnamed French official told the FT that there is no "final agreement" on the nature of U.S. support for European troops in Ukraine.
Trump did not provide Macron with specific commitments regarding support for the European contingent that may be stationed in Ukraine following a potential peace agreement; however, the American president "does not oppose Americans providing security guarantees," the Financial Times summarized, citing a source.
