European leaders are set to convene for an urgent meeting in Paris to discuss the escalating crisis in Ukraine. President Macron of France has extended an invitation to Sir Keir Starmer and six other heads of government for what is being described as an “informal meeting” at the Elysée at 3pm GMT.
The meeting comes in the wake of surprise and dismay in Europe over President Trump’s decision not to involve them in talks with Russia regarding the future of Ukraine. French diplomatic sources have indicated that Macron aims to navigate the delicate situation carefully, striving to avoid direct confrontation with Washington while advocating for Europe to have a role in negotiations concerning Ukraine.
The meeting is expected to address the pressing need for European involvement in discussions surrounding Ukraine and will likely focus on ways to ensure that Europe’s interests are safeguarded during this critical time. The outcome of the meeting could have significant implications for the region and its relationship with Russia.
As tensions continue to rise, the world will be closely watching as European leaders gather in Paris to address the Ukraine crisis and seek a path forward.
