French media prioritized the evolving Trump-Poutine summit in Alaska. Morning reports highlighted Ukraine's bitterness and European attempts to influence outcomes, with Zelensky expected in London. By mid-day, a joint press conference was confirmed, and Vladimir Poutine publicly acknowledged US "sincere efforts" to end the conflict, aiming to convince Donald Trump to "let go" of Ukraine. In the afternoon, Trump assessed a "25%" failure risk for the talks, yet expressed belief that both Russian and Ukrainian leaders were "ready for peace," suggesting a necessary trilateral meeting with Zelensky. Editorial attention also remained on the severe heatwave, with red alerts receding but orange vigilance expanding, leading to concerns about public health, the Mediterranean Sea's intense warming, and a booming private pool rental market, with very high temperatures expected for the upcoming weekend.
