France BETRAYS Ally Ukraine | Refuses to Join U.S Weapons aid initiative for Kyiv | Zelensky SHOCKED

France has rejected NATO’s new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trump’s arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield needs against Russia’s continued offensive. #France #Macron #UkraineWar #NATO #Trump #USWeapons #UkraineRussiaWar #DefensePolicy #EuropeanAutonomy #FranceVsNATO #MacronStance #UkraineAid #EUDefense #NATOFunding #TrumpPlan #RussiaUkraine #FranceSnubsNATO #DefenseSpending #StrategicAutonomy #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #UkraineSupport #GermanyBacksPlan #CzechRepublic #Hungary #NATODivide #USArmsDeal #FranceFirst #Geopolitics #MacronVsTrump Also Read India, China, Brazil Could Be Hit Hard For Trading With Russia: NATO Secretary Rutte :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-china-brazil-could-be-hit-hard-for-trading-with-russia-nato-secretary-rutte-7802537.html?ref=DMDesc France and Africa Revisit Colonial Past as Reparations Dialogue Gains Momentum :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/france-and-africa-revisit-colonial-past-as-reparations-dialogue-gains-momentum-7800969.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi’s ‘Twitter’ Joke To Macron At G7 Summit Goes Viral — Watch The Candid Moment :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pm-modi-s-twitter-joke-to-macron-at-g7-summit-goes-viral-watch-the-candid-moment-4184813.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.125~

Germany BETRAYS Ukraine | Denies supply of TAURUS & PATRIOT MISSILES | Putin Arm-twists Merz

Germany has officially denied Ukraine’s latest request for Taurus cruise missiles, citing NATO obligations and escalation concerns. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed the long-range system is “off the table” despite intensified Russian airstrikes. Berlin also ruled out sending additional Patriot systems due to depleted reserves. Moscow had warned that Taurus deliveries would destroy ties with Berlin. As Ukraine’s casualties mount and Western weapon supplies dwindle, fears grow of deeper NATO involvement and a potential escalation into a wider regional conflict. #GermanyUkraine #TaurusMissiles #PutinWarning #UkraineWar #NATO #BerlinMoscow #RussiaUkraineConflict #PatriotMissiles #Pistorius #UkraineCrisis #TaurusDenied #WesternWeapons #ProxyWar #KyivDefense #EscalationRisk #WarCasualties #GermanDefense #PutinThreat #RussiaNATO #MilitaryTensions #GermanyRefuses #UkraineAppeal #CSISReport #WiderConflict #GlobalSecurity #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #UkraineFrontline #MissilePolitics #UkraineUpdates Also Read US Will Send Patriot Missiles To Ukraine: Trump Takes U-Turn Over Arm Deliveries To Kyiv :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-trump-takes-u-turn-over-arm-deliveries-to-kyiv-011-7800325.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Considering German Missile Shield After Chinese Systems Fail Against BrahMos During Op Sindoor :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-considering-german-missile-shield-after-chinese-systems-fail-against-brahmos-during-op-sind-4178853.html?ref=DMDesc Russia May Attack THIS European Country After Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-may-attack-this-european-country-after-ukraine-4176043.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.408~ED.103~
