Macron corrects trump on costs of Ukraine war and says "Peace must not mean surrender

French President Emmanuel Macron told Donald Trump that peace should not mean Ukraine's surrender, during a press conference at the White House on the third anniversary of Russia's invasion. Macron corrected Trump after he claimed European aid to Ukraine was in loans, clarifying most of the support was grants.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Zelensky expressed hopes for ending the war this year at a summit in Kyiv. At the UN, the General Assembly passed a resolution reaffirming Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The US, Russia, and North Korea opposed it, supporting a resolution that avoided backing Ukraine's territorial claims and referred to Russia's invasion as a "conflict."
