Europeans try to ensure the US president-elect’s support for Ukraine in the war with Russia; Ukrainian leader said meeting was ‘good and productive’
he was in Paris, where he was received by the French president. The visit came at a significant time, coinciding with festivities marking the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral, five years after the devastating fire that struck it. This event attracted the attention of leaders of several nations, including the President of Ukraine, who also participated in the discussions. The Ukrainian leader stated that the meeting with the president-elect of the United States was “good and productive”.
During the meeting, Macron and other European leaders took the opportunity to seek Trump’s support, emphasizing the importance of continued US support for Ukraine amid the Russian invasion. Trump’s presence was seen as a chance to strengthen ties and ensure that military and financial assistance to Ukraine was not compromised.
Trump, in turn, praised his relationship with Macron and expressed his desire to find a quick solution to the conflict in Ukraine. However, his statements did not bring clarity about the methods he intends to use to achieve this objective, which generated apprehension in Kiev. Ukrainian authorities are concerned that future negotiations may not serve their interests.
