France's Macron proposes four-way meeting on Ukraine, including Europe

(Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron, at peace talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and other EU leaders on Monday, proposed a future four-way 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 this is the only way to fix it”, but suggested Europe should also be involved, without specifying who should speak for Europe.

“As a follow up, we would need the quadrilateral meeting, because when we speak about security guarantees, we speak about the whole security of the European continent,” Macron said, according to a press pool transcript of the meeting. “This is why we are all united here with Ukraine.”
