France questions Trump's blame of Ukraine for Russia's invasion

France has expressed confusion over U.S. President Donald Trump's recent comments blaming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for Russia's invasion. A French spokesperson stated that Trump's remarks lack clarity and were made without consulting European allies. Trump suggested that Ukraine could have prevented the war by negotiating earlier. This follows ongoing tensions since Russia's invasion in 2022, which has led to significant conflict in Europe. French President Emmanuel Macron is set to meet with European leaders to discuss Ukraine. Meanwhile, Sweden's Prime Minister noted differing views within the EU but emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine amid uncertain negotiations with Russia.
