Two European heads of state don’t appear to have much confidence in the Trump administration’s effort to achieve peace in Ukraine, with French President Emmanuel Macron warning that America could “betray” President Volodymyr Zelensky, a German newspaper reported Thursday
Citing notes from a recent conference call between Macron, Zelensky, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and other European leaders, Der Spiegel revealed some ominous comments from Macron in particular.
The piece, entitled “We Must Not Leave Ukraine and Volodymyr Alone with These Guys,” appeared in English on Der Spiegel‘s Substack page.

The notes also mention Merz telling Zelensky, “They are playing games with both you and us.”
It’s unclear who “they” refers to, but Der Spiegel has speculated it includes President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, and son-in-law Jared Kushner."
