French President Emmanuel Macron has made a big statement about the war in Ukraine. Macron said that it is not possible to support Ukraine without European countries. “We have to accept the truth, America is no longer supporting us,” he said. Macron’s statement has raised questions about Europe’s growing responsibility and America’s role in the Ukraine war. However, the French presidential office has also made it clear that no permanent solution to the Ukraine war is possible without taking into account Europe’s security concerns.

Macron’s big statement after the Abu Dhabi meeting
His comments came a day after US representatives, Kushner and special envoy Steve Wittkoff held three-way peace talks with Ukrainian and Russian representatives in Abu Dhabi.
Kushner said this week: “If Europe can get one person to speak on its behalf, that would be an even bigger success than bringing the Russians into the conversation.” Although the US team said they saw “some opportunities” for an agreement at the two-day event, there were no clear breakthroughs in the talks. Trump previously said he could resolve the war within 24 hours of his second term in January 2025.
US support for Ukraine war is waning
Russian negotiators are demanding that Ukraine hand over the entire Donbass region as a compromise, although Kiev has refused. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky said it was clear Putin was “living in a different reality.” Kushner and Witkoff have now flown to Moscow for further talks on a possible peace deal with the Kremlin.
America is gradually withdrawing its support from Ukraine. In March 2025, the Trump administration halted all military aid to Kiev following a rift with Zelensky, forcing European countries to buy weapons from the US and send them to Ukraine. Trump also surprised his colleagues in October by striking a diesel deal with Russia that lifted sanctions and called for Zelensky to be removed from office.
