French President Emmanuel Macron revealed that there would be 'no more US support for Ukraine', speaking at the European Political Community (EPC) summit in Dublin on Thursday.

"Does Europe not have credibility and confidence at the moment. Not speaking with one voice, not having a seat in the middle of negotiations," he was asked, referring to US envoy Jared Kushner's remarks.

"I think what's important is what we do. Without Europeans, I mean, there is no support for for Ukraine, let's be honest. Today you have Canada, Europeans. I want to commend as well our Australian and Japanese friend. But look at the coalition of the willing you have here today in Ireland, probably 80, 90 percent of the contribution of this Coalition of the Willing. It's 100 percent of the support to Ukraine. We are those who support Ukraine. We are those who help them in this resistance war. There is no more US support. So there is some mediation. Fine. But at the end of the day, we will be the one to define and decide for our future security as Europeans. Have no doubt about that," he replied.

Earlier, Kushner said: "If Europe could identify one person to speak on their behalf, that would be a bigger achievement than getting the Russians to include them in the negotiations."

It came after the latest trilateral between Russia, the US and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi.

The Russian delegation's head Vladimir Medinsky said that the entire European security system was 'sick', that a 'band-aid won't cut it' and that a complete overhaul was a 'central topic' in the latest trilateral - and that the sides had found 'common ground' in some areas.

00:00Listen, I think that every time there is a possibility to have a cessé-feu and to build a peace
00:05durable on this basis, we will try to seize it. We will have the opportunity to talk with the President
00:11Zelensky.
00:11I will come back to you.
00:13Do you want to be a minister of Europe on Ukraine, as there is this discussion,
00:18to have a representative who speaks to Putin?
00:21I think that today we have a need to be a clear and unified vision of what she wants for
00:29Ukraine and for her own.
00:30And I think that the content determines the format.
00:34When we wanted to support Ukraine in February 2025 and there was a doubt on the support,
00:39we said we will support, we have an objective which is to support in capacity, in finance and to build
00:45solutions.
00:45We created the coalition of volunteers.
00:47And so the format is determined by the content.
00:49We have to take an initiative to discuss with Russia in Europe.
00:56And it is at this moment that the format is defined.
00:58Today, there were representatives of several countries and institutions
01:02European countries who were at Abu Dhabi.
01:04But it was a coordination in front of a dialogue, in fact, between American and Russian.
01:10So Europe has to first know what she wants clearly.
01:12Today, Europe is very clear on its support Ukraine.
01:15On doit maintenant clarifier une copie de ce qu'est notre projet de paix et de ce qu'est un
01:21projet d'architecture de sécurité future.
01:24A ce titre, la déclaration d'aujourd'hui des déterminés.
01:32I don't know. I don't know. I have no insider information.
01:37What do you think of the letter of Georgia Meloni?
01:39Est-ce que vous l'avez lue ?
01:40Est-ce que vous en pensez à l'envoyer une letter ?
01:42Je pense que le sujet n'est pas de savoir pour nous si l'un ou l'autre n'y
01:47est pas.
01:47Il y a le E3 qui s'est imposé comme un format qui est pertinent en termes de sécurité.
01:52Il y avait un format Normandie avec l'Allemagne et la France.
01:55Ce qui importe, c'est pourquoi.
01:57Je le redis, quand on a créé la coalition des volontaires,
02:00l'initiative française puis franco-britannique,
02:02on a associé nos amis allemands, on en a la coprésidence ensemble,
02:05c'est parce qu'on avait un projet.
02:06Donc je pense qu'il faut plutôt dire aujourd'hui quelles sont les propositions concrètes
02:09et c'est celles qui déterminent les formats.
02:11Après, sinon, chacun dira qu'il veut un format où il est.
02:14Ce n'est pas le sujet le plus important.
02:16Je dirais qu'il est important aujourd'hui ce que nous faisons avec l'Ukraine,
02:20et que c'est clairement de soutenir.
02:25Je pense qu'il est très important aussi
02:27d'endorser les principes et les commitments, comme Européens,
02:32dans cette Européenne plus large,
02:34qui est cette communauté politique européenne,
02:37afin d'assurer que nous designons nos propres principes de sécurité
02:43et notre propre architecture de sécurité.
02:45C'est mon objectif.
02:46C'est mon objectif.
02:46Est-ce que vous voulez faire ?
02:55I think what's important is what we do without Europeans there with I mean there is no support
03:00for for Ukraine let's be honest today you have Canada Europeans I want to come on as well our
03:07Australian and Japanese friend but look at the coalition of the willing you have here today in
03:11Ireland will be 80 90 percent of the contribution of this coalition of the willing it's 100 percent
03:17of the support to Ukraine we are those to support Ukraine was those to help them in this resistance
03:23war there is no more US support so there is some mediations fine but at the end of the day
03:31we will
03:31be the one to define and decide for our future security as Europeans I have no doubt about it
