Donald Trump does not ease the pressure on Kiev and after the weapons he also interrupts the supply of intelligence , to get Volodymyr Zelensky to accept the peace agreement.

And Europe is watching with concern the new American line. Emmanuel Macron says it clearly, speaking of a "new era" in which the Old Continent must think about its own security . The specter that hovers is always the same, Russia, which "has become a threat to Europe" and not only to Ukraine, says the French president addressing the nation on TV. "We cannot stand by and watch," he warns, saying he is determined to "open the strategic debate" on nuclear deterrence - an atomic umbrella made in France - with the European allies , whom he is meeting today at the Brussels summit.

According to the Elysée, Europe must also play a central role in security guarantees for Kiev. Macron thus relaunches his idea of a peacekeeping mission to prevent Russian violations after the agreement.

And he announces a summit in Paris of the chiefs of staff of the countries that want to join: the so-called coalition of the willing at the center of the France-Great Britain plan which, according to CNN, Turkey would also join.

The new American crackdown after the one on weapons in Kiev will concern intelligence with the blocking of information on targets in Russian territory, to prevent the Ukrainians from carrying out long-range attacks . The director of the CIA John Ratcliffe has however held to specify that the measure would be temporary and only functional to the start of a negotiation.
