US EditionFrance and Germany Pledge to Ramp up Pressure on Putin
France and Germany will send additional air-defence hardware to Ukraine and start a strategic dialogue on nuclear deterrence to counter ongoing Russian aggression, leaders said.
- On Friday, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz vowed to increase pressure on Russia after Thursday's deadly missile and drone strikes on Kyiv, agreeing to send additional air-defence hardware to Ukraine and open a strategic dialogue on nuclear deterrence in Toulon.
- On Thursday, a missile-and-drone barrage struck Kyiv, killing 25 people including four children and ripping through apartment blocks in the deadliest attack in months.
- The leaders used pointed language when noting the gap between Russian President Vladimir Putin's summit positions and reality shows insincerity, and French President Emmanuel Macron expressed no regret for calling Putin an `ogre at our gates` earlier this month.
- The leaders also warned they would push for primary and secondary sanctions to pressure Russia if Putin fails to agree to talks by a Monday deadline, aiming to build a common strategic culture.
- Diplomatic momentum has faltered after Donald Trump moved to restore dialogue with Moscow, and Friedrich Merz warned the war could last many more months, saying he has "no illusions" about a swift resolution.
