Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. European leaders are rallying around Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in London today. That's as Russia and the Trump administration ramp up pressure on Ukraine. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports French President Emmanuel Macron has accused Russia of failing to look for peace.
Macron said Ukraine can count on Europe's unwavering support as he joins the British Prime Minister, German Chancellor and other European leaders in London. Macron condemned Russia's continued attacks on Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure during the peace talks. Speaking about the amended peace plan draft, President Trump suggested Zelensky could be the sticking point.
Trump said the Ukrainian president didn't appear ready to sign the deal and that, quote, his people love it and I'm pretty sure Russia is fine with it. Polls show a large majority of Ukrainians are not fine with peace at any cost and don't want to give away Ukrainian cities to Russia as the Kremlin demands. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Kyiv.
