French President Emmanuel Macron traveled to Warsaw on 12 December to meet Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and discuss European support for Ukraine, according to RFI. The visit follows Macron’s meeting in Paris on 7 December with US president-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The Elysée Palace stated that Macron and Tusk’s discussions would address Ukraine support “in a new transatlantic context” and prepare for Poland’s EU Council presidency in the first half of 2025.
Tusk announced that Macron would brief him on the results of his Paris discussions with Trump and Zelenskyy. He described the meeting at the Elysée as “brief but important.”
Tusk also maintained that peace talks to resolve Russia’s war in Ukraine could begin this winter.
