AI Summary:
Macron said Russian aggression “knows no borders” and is a direct threat to Europe. All 27 EU leaders will gather for Thursday’s defence summit for the first time since the explosive meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week. Trump has since softened his tone on Zelendskyy after the Ukrainian leader’s willingness to sign a controversial mineral deal with the US. “The future of Europe does not have to be decided in Washington or Moscow,” he added. Macron said he would discuss with his European partners extending French nuclear deterrence to other countries on the continent. Other European leaders have embraced Zelenskyy and reaffirmed their support for Ukraine at weekend talks in London. Macron bringing up the nuclear deterrent has not really been discussed before. “this shows the sense of urgency that is being felt here in Europe in terms of its own security”, the Al Jazeera correspondent said.
