European Leaders Seek Trump's G7 Backing for New Russia-Ukraine Talks After 2025 Alaska Summit

Summary
France, Britain and Germany plan to press Donald Trump at next week's G7 summit in France to support a new push for Russia-Ukraine peace talks, according to people familiar with the discussions.
Their case rests on a view that battlefield momentum has shifted toward Ukraine, creating a better opening for negotiations than existed under terms discussed after Trump's 2025 summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
The European effort aims to move any talks beyond that Alaska framework, testing whether Trump will align with a fresh diplomatic track as the war's balance changes.
