- Trump signaled a tougher stance on Russia as the war in Ukraine came back into his focus at the G7 summit in Évian, with outlets noting no end in sight.
- Macron hailed US alignment with the G7's 'shared commitment' on Ukraine, as the group projected unity on Russia at the French summit.
Why it matters: The G7's coordinated front on Ukraine, now incorporating Trump's tougher signaling toward Moscow, signals diplomatic pressure on Russia — but with no resolution announced, the conflict's stalemate continues, and the harder US rhetoric has yet to translate into a concrete policy shift on the war.
