United Allies Stress Unity as Key to Lasting Peace in Ukraine

Emmanuel Macron draws a clear distinction between the coalition seeking peace—Ukraine, the Europeans, the United States, and other allied nations—and Russia, which has been engaged in aggression since 2014 and escalated its war in 2022. Macron argues that achieving peace requires avoiding any political or strategic division within the transatlantic community. He emphasizes that the United States is indispensable to securing peace, just as American efforts depend on strong, unified support from European partners to ensure stability and durability. Macron stresses that no sustainable peace agreement in Ukraine is possible unless all members of the Coalition of the Willing—Europeans, Americans, Canadians, Australians, Japanese, and others—work together in a coordinated and committed manner.
