🇪🇺🇺🇲 The head of the European Council said that the conflict in Ukraine affects the US less than the EU.

“The impact of the conflict on the US is not the same as on Europe. The US is an exporter of energy resources. The EU is suffering from high bills, we risk facing an economic recession. European businesses pay more for energy and face competition from US businesses,” Charles Michel told the Corriere della Sera newspaper.

🇫🇷🇺🇦🇷🇺 French President Emmanuel Macron is sure of two things - that the war in Ukraine must end at the negotiating table and that Russia must receive security guarantees. He stated this in an interview with TF1.

That is why, Macron believes, the topic of NATO and its expansion will become one of the topics of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. This should be taken into account when creating a new European security architecture.

At the same time, Macron once again reiterated that Ukraine itself must decide when to start negotiations with Russia and under what conditions. He noted that Europe is not involved in the war and does not accept it, but the future security on the continent depends on it.

Macron also said that he plans to discuss the situation around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
