G7 summit: Macron hails 'turning point' on Ukraine as Trump endorses joint statement

At the end of three days of talks in Évian, French President Emmanuel Macron hailed a "turning point" among allies regarding Russia's war on Ukraine.

Macron and his fellow leaders managed to convince US President Donald Trump, who has often outraged Europeans with his unilateral approach to the war, to sign a joint statement pledging to increase military aid to Kyiv and economic pressure on Russia.

"This is a real change compared to the last few months, not just on the part of the Europeans, but on the part of the G7 members and all those who support Ukraine," Macron said at the press conference concluding the G7 summit.

"This Évian summit represents a very profound shift in approach, a willingness on the part of the United States to work with the Europeans in support of Ukraine."
