President Trump and France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, repeatedly exchanged compliments and friendly gestures during a White House meeting this afternoon. But on the topic of Ukraine, the divergence between the two leaders was evident.

Trump refused to call Vladimir Putin a dictator, as he has described Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, and falsely claimed that the U.S. had spent three times as much as Europe on the war. He demanded that Ukraine sign over hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue from natural resources to the U.S., without mentioning Russian concessions.

Macron corrected Trump’s assertions about European aid, made clear that Russia — not Ukraine — was to blame for the war, and insisted that any truce “must not mean a surrender of Ukraine.”

The meeting came on the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Several European leaders acknowledged the day by visiting Kyiv and pledging their support. Meanwhile, Trump suggested that his negotiations with Putin could end the fighting “within weeks,” and said that he might visit Moscow if a peace deal were reached.

The U.S. also angered its European allies by voting against a resolution at the U.N. General Assembly that condemned Russian aggression and called for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine. The Americans were joined by Russia, Belarus and North Korea.

One is the death toll: It is estimated that more than 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers and 150,000 Russian soldiers have been killed. My colleague Kim Barker, however, looked at the war though the story of Olha Kurtmallaieva, a young cancer patient whose husband is in a Russian prison.
