French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the nation on Wednesday, emphasizing the need for European unity amid shifting global dynamics.

Following the U.

S. decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine, Macron warned of the growing Russian threat and urged Europe to strengthen its defense capabilities.

He rejected the idea of peace at any cost, stating that Ukraine's sovereignty must be preserved.

Macron also announced plans to host European military leaders in Paris to discuss future peace guarantees in Ukraine.

Stressing the importance of national resilience, he called on the French people to remain committed to peace and freedom.

Macron's speech highlighted a "new era" of uncertainty, urging Europe to reduce its reliance on the U.

S. for security.
