French President Emmanuel Macron, during a visit to Hanoi, stated that U.S. President Donald Trump has come to realize that Russian President Vladimir Putin misled him about being ready for peace in Ukraine. Macron's comments followed a weekend of deadly Russian attacks on Ukraine, including a record assault involving 355 drones and missiles that killed at least 13 people and injured more than 60.

Macron called for Trump's anger at Russia, as expressed in a recent Truth Social post describing Putin as 'completely crazy,' to translate into concrete actions. He urged the United States and European allies to impose a new, more severe package of sanctions against Russia if it does not agree to a ceasefire by a set deadline, reiterating that he has discussed this with Trump.

Macron emphasized that the credibility of the United States is at stake, and that previous threats of 'massive sanctions' have not resulted in Russian compliance. He stated that if Russia continues to refuse a ceasefire, the West must respond with a significantly stronger sanctions package.
