Zelensky and European allies cement cooperation after Trump row

13 Sept 23:37 Key points summarised by AI

European allies, led by UK Prime Minister Starmer and French President Macron, solidified cooperation with Ukrainian President Zelensky to craft a unified peace proposal to present to the United States.
Zelensky will collaborate with Europe to define non-negotiable peace terms and explore a partial one-month truce focused on air, sea, and energy infrastructure, with discussions on potential European troop deployment to enforce a future ceasefire.
This European alignment emerged after former US President Donald Trump's critical remarks towards Zelensky, prompting European leaders to pledge increased defense spending and emphasize Europe's need to lead efforts against Russian aggression.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
