According to available information, US President Donald Trump is turning his attention back to Ukraine, raising concerns among Kyiv's allies. The allies want the United States to join their strategy of maximal pressure on Russia, but it remains unclear whether Trump is on board.

This uncertainty comes as leaders gather in Évian-les-Bains for a G7 summit dominated by talks on Ukraine and Iran. Expectations are low, but the goal is to keep Trump engaged in conversations about these crises. However, no agreement has been reported, and Trump's position on the matter is not yet defined.

Kyiv's allies are worried that without US involvement, their strategy to pressure Russia may be less effective. Meanwhile, Macron and Zelenskyy appear to be coordinating their approach to persuade Trump to support Ukraine, but specific plans have not been disclosed. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are awaited.

This development is crucial as US support is vital for Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression. Whether Trump will commit to the allies' strategy or remain aloof could significantly impact the ongoing conflict.
