French President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday night that European leaders, including British Prime Minister Kiel Starmer, were urgently involved in European leaders, including British Prime Minister Kiel Starmer, after concerns rose over Donald Trump’s attempt to take control of the Ukrainian peace process. I was about to convened a meeting.
At the Munich security conference, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorsky said, “I am extremely pleased that President Macron has called our leader to Paris.”
“President Trump has the strategy of operations that the Russians call Razvedka Boyem. They are subjected to reconnaissance through the fight.
The most likely meeting on Monday will include efforts to remove European leaders from peace negotiations, the position that Europe should adopt for future membership in Ukraine’s NATO, and security guarantees through NATO or part of the It is expected that there will be a discussion of the position to be adopted regarding the methods provided. European military.
Downing Street confirmed it had heard about the proposed meeting on Saturday, and officials said that priorities will receive a message from the meeting to Washington this week when President Trump meets. British sources said they believe those invited to Paris by Macron will become NATO executive director Mark Latte and leaders in Germany, Italy, the UK and Poland.
The priority states: “This is a one-time moment for national security engaged in the reality of today’s world and the threats facing Russia. To secure the future of Ukraine and to face the threats facing Russia. It is clear that Europe must play a bigger role in NATO to work with. The UK will strive to keep the US and Europe together. We are the external ones we face. You cannot allow the alliance to split to distract you from the enemy.”
The speed of trying to unite the European leaders behind Macron’s joint response indicates the extent of European unrest over both the US government to exclude the European government from detailed negotiations between the US and Russia. It’s there.
Also, despite the UK leaving the EU, Starme’s prospects for involvement also highlight how the British Prime Minister is drawn into the European response. With European leaders expected to convene in Paris, Russian and US officials are expected to meet in Saudi Arabia this week to map what they intend to become a peace process.
The uncertainty among Europeans escalated on Saturday when Ukrainian Trump special envoy Keith Kellogg said it was not realistic for European leaders to be involved. “It could be like blackboard chalk, but it might be a bit grated, but I’m really telling you that I’m really honest,” Kellogg said at the Munich Conference.
“And to my European friend, I would say: “Yes, no, rather than complaining that you might be at the table, come up with concrete suggestions, ideas, ramp-up spending.” This makes you get caught up in the debate.”
Kellogg said he was working on “Trump Time” and an agreement was expected in weeks and months.
The United States has also reportedly sent letters to European countries, asking which troops they are trying to supply to the peacekeeping forces.
“It appears that Europe will be asked to police contracts that they have no direct hand in negotiations. In the meantime, Donald Trump controls rare Ukraine minerals by 50%,” a European diplomat said. I’m trying to take control.”

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said the world is experiencing a “moment of truth” as a possible negotiation to end the war in Ukraine. “Everyone in the world has to decide whether they are on the side of the free world or those fighting the free world.”
In her claim to European rights to attend consultations, she added, “Without European peace there is no long-term peace.”
The serious concern, according to European sources, is that Trump may negotiate terms of a ceasefire intended for a long-term deal, but will quickly wash hands for any role in Ukraine’s future security. He said that.
British Foreign Secretary David Lamy said it is important to protect the possibility of future Russian violations. He states: “If we violate the agreement, we must ensure that we can act. This is a sufficient threat to the Russian Federation to not violate this guarantee.”
He also urged the US not to leave Ukraine, saying that the country’s best security guarantee against future Russian invasions is to restrain the US industrial, business and defense capabilities in the future. “That’s what Putin sits and pays attention to, and it’s appealing to a US president who knows how to make a fair deal.”
Kellogg said that one of the reasons previous peace negotiations failed was because too many countries were involved. “We’re not going to go that path,” he said of the connection to the Munich security conference.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously used his speech in the conference to warn that Europe was likely to be excluded from negotiations. He stepped up to Europe and urged Ukraine to form a European army with a central role.
Zelensky told Europe to avoid being abandoned at the Trump negotiation table. “Tell me honestly – now we can’t rule out that America might say no to Europe on issues that threaten it. Many leaders have argued that they have their own military, the European army. We’ve been talking about Europe that we need. I think it’s time. We have to create a European army.
“A few days ago, President Trump told me about his conversation with Putin. He never said America needed Europe at that table. He says a lot. The old days are over. – when America supported Europe because it had always had.
“Ukraine will never accept any transactions made behind our backs without our involvement. And the same rules should apply to all of Europe. There will be no decisions about Ukraine without Ukraine. Without Europe, there will be no decisions about Europe.”
His ideas about integration are unlikely to take off as many European countries face increasingly euroskeptical voters, but his statements are about the military role that can play the continent in Ukraine It could energise a more detailed discussion of the Cerezage.
European leaders participated in a session at the Munich Conference on Saturday. He was already caught up in a confrontational speech by US vice-president JD Vance on Friday.
EU foreign policy director Kaja Kallas characterized Vance as “choosing a fight” against Europe, the hub of some of the US’s closest allies.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tass said on social media: “Europe urgently needs a unique plan of action on Ukraine and our safety. It’s not necessarily in line with our own interests… This plan needs to be prepared now. Time to lose. There is none.”
