French President Emmanuel Macron said Ukraine\u2019s battlefield resilience, Europe\u2019s willingness to shoulder more responsibility, and Russia\u2019s failure to honor its commitments have led to a \u201creal change\u201d in U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s approach toward Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Speaking to France 2<\/a> on June 19, Macron said Trump initially believed Ukraine would lose the war and therefore sought a rapid peace agreement,\u00a0UATV English<\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe thought Ukraine would lose. That is why he wanted to make peace quickly. Think back to January and February 2025 \u2014 it feels like a lifetime ago. He thought Ukraine would lose. Things went very badly in the Oval Office with President Zelenskyy,\u201d Macron said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to the French leader, \u201ca tremendous journey\u201d has taken place since then, beginning with Ukraine\u2019s own achievements.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat journey is first and foremost a victory for Ukrainians \u2014 in their capabilities and their power of persuasion. President Trump saw that everything he had been told, that Ukrainians would collapse and would not survive the winter, was false. Instead, he saw courageous, innovative people whom he respects,\u201d Macron said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He highlighted Ukraine\u2019s technological capabilities and domestic defense production, particularly in drone warfare.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, this is a drone war, and Ukraine\u2019s production capabilities in this area are impressive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Macron said a second factor was Trump\u2019s realization that European countries are prepared to take greater responsibility for supporting Ukraine and providing future security guarantees.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat has been built over recent months \u2014 the Coalition of the Willing \u2014 was created by Europeans, together with several allies such as Canada, Japan, and Australia, who are standing alongside Ukraine and saying: \u2018We will build these security guarantees for the day after peace,\u2019\u201d Macron said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The third factor, according to the French president, was Trump\u2019s evolving understanding of Russia.<\/p>\n

He said the U.S. leader had come to see that Moscow was not honoring its promises and that Russia\u2019s version of peace effectively meant Ukraine\u2019s capitulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo yes, during this G7 there was a real change, one that should be welcomed, and it represents genuine progress,\u201d Macron concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier, Macron said that following increased coordination among the United States, Europe, and G7 nations in support of Ukraine, it is now up to Russian President Vladimir Putin to indicate whether he is ready to return to negotiations without what the French leader called \u201cunacceptable conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
