Editorial: Le Monde

• Russia continues its territorial expansion in eastern Ukraine, and the most alarming news does not come from the battlefront but from US internal politics.
• Donald Trump chose James David Vance, a senator who has disparaged and been indifferent to Ukraine as his vice-presidential candidate.
• US isolation is likely what led Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to mention for the first time the possibility of negotiations without preconditions with Moscow.
• In Europe, the unilateral policy of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was rejected by the European Parliament.

Conclusion: The growing US isolationism and the disinterest of influential figures in the situation in Ukraine threaten to further destabilize the region. European support for Ukraine is more important than ever.
