At the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, European leaders urged U.S. President Donald Trump to help revive stalled peace efforts by hosting direct talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump acknowledged the deep hostility between the two leaders but said he would do what he could to advance negotiations. Zelenskyy sought stronger U.S. engagement and support as Ukraine faces continued Russian attacks. European nations are also considering additional sanctions on Moscow while pressing for renewed diplomatic efforts to end the war.
