Macron Says He Discussed Ukraine and Russian Strikes on Energy Infrastructure With Trump

The notable element is the sequencing: Macron is positioning himself as a conduit between Washington and Kyiv on a narrow, technically specific issue — strikes on energy infrastructure — rather than a broad ceasefire framework. That matters because energy targets have been one of the few areas where limited understandings have been floated, and a European leader carrying messages in both directions suggests the channel is active. Whether this produces any formal arrangement, or remains diplomatic signaling, is the open question.
