Macron at Dublin Summit Says US Support for Ukraine 'Is No More': Europe Must Decide Its Own Future Security
French President Emmanuel Macron, arriving at the European Political Community summit in Dublin on November 12, told reporters that United States support for Ukraine "is no more," making Europe's backing critical and leaving Europe's future security for Europeans themselves to define.
Macron said: "Without Europeans, there is no support for Ukraine. Let's be honest. We are those to support Ukraine, we are those to help them in the resistance war. There is no more US support. There is some mediation, fine, but at the end of the day, we will be the ones to define and decide for our future security as Europeans. I have no doubt about that."
The summit, held at the Convention Centre in Dublin, was the largest political and diplomatic event ever staged in Ireland, drawing around 50 leaders. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned at the meeting that Russia seeks to reshape the continent's security framework and said Europe should have a regular place at the negotiating table.
The day before the summit, delegations from Ukraine, Russia and the United States had held talks in Abu Dhabi. U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on November 12 before travelling to Dublin that evening to meet Zelenskyy. Kushner had previously challenged Europe to appoint a single representative for the negotiations, the backdrop against which Macron spoke.
