NextImg:Macron to Hold Emergency Summit on Ukraine for European Leaders: Reports

French President Emmanuel Macron has reportedly called an emergency summit for European leaders to discuss Ukraine as President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are expected to begin peace talks.

Trump said last week that he expects to hold several meetings to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war.

“We ultimately expect to meet,” Trump said from the Oval Office. “In fact, we expect that he’ll come here, and I’ll go there, and we’re going to meet also, probably in Saudi Arabia. The first time we’ll meet in Saudi Arabia.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine had not been invited to any meetings between Trump and Russia.

“It is strange to hold a meeting in such format before we had consultations with our strategic partners,” Zelensky said Saturday at the Munich Security Conference.

Macron has reportedly responded to the news by calling European leaders to an emergency meeting in Paris, according to several outlets. 

“I’m very glad that President Macron has called our leaders to Paris,” Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said at the Munich conference on Saturday, according to Politico

Sikorski said the meeting would involve discussions about the implications of Trump’s actions “in a very serious fashion.”

“President Trump has a method of operating which the Russians call razvedka boyem – reconnaissance through battle. You push and you see what happens, and then you change your position . . . And we need to respond,” he said.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the summit will be a “once in a generation” national security moment.

Macron had previously expressed a willingness to work with Trump when Trump was elected in November.

“Congratulations, President @realDonaldTrump,” Macron wrote at the time. “Ready to work together as we did for four years. With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.”
