French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the US might “betray Ukraine on territory” during ongoing peace negotiations. The German magazine Der Spiegel quoted a leaked summary from a call among European leaders, who voiced fundamental doubts about Washington’s approach.
