STORYLINE:
French President Emmanuel Macron met with Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy at the emergency EU summit on Ukraine and security on Thursday.
Zelenskyy arrived at the summit and thanked European Union leaders for their unwavering support for Ukraine.
Facing the prospect that the United States might cut them adrift under President Donald Trump, European Union leaders launched a day of emergency talks in a bid to beef up their own security and ensure that Ukraine will still be properly protected.
The 27-nation bloc woke up to news that French President Emmanuel Macron would confer with EU leaders about the possibility of using France’s nuclear deterrent to protect the continent from Russian threats.
Macron said he has decided to open a “strategic debate” on the protection of European allies by France’s nuclear deterrent. Macron said the use of France’s nuclear weapons would remain only in the hands of the French president.
France is providing military intelligence to Ukraine after Washington announced it was freezing the sharing of information with Kyiv.
It all underscored the sea change that has taken place in the two months since Trump took office and immediately started questioning the cornerstones of cooperation between the United States and Europe that had been the bedrock of Western security since World War II.
