(Reuters)-French President Emmanuel Macron, in peaceful conversations with US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and other European Union leaders on Monday, proposed a future quadripartite meeting about Ukraine that would include Europe.
He said the idea of a trilateral meeting – involving the United States, Russia, and Ukraine – is “very important, because that is the only way to solve the problem,” but suggested that Europe should also be involved without specifying who should speak through Europe.
“As a follow -up, we would need the quadrilateral meeting, because when we talk about security guarantees, we talked about all the security of the European continent,” Macron said, according to a transcription of the press meeting. “That’s why we’re all united here with Ukraine.”
Unique opportunity
Legacy Card: Far beyond a service
Monday’s meeting at the White House was also attended by the UK leaders, Germany, Italy, Finland, the European Union and NATO, who traveled Washington to demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine and pressing for strong security guarantees for the country in any postwar agreement.
