French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans on Thursday to host a crucial meeting of Ukraine-supporting nations in Paris next week, aiming to finalize strategies for a potential truce and long-term security in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The move comes amid heightened global efforts to stabilize the region.
🗣️ 'We will hold another meeting of the coalition of the willing next Thursday in Paris… to finalize our work on short-term support for the Ukrainian army,' Macron said after an EU summit. He emphasized plans to develop a 'sustainable model' for Ukraine’s defense and European security guarantees to deter future Russian aggression.
The initiative, co-led with British PM Keir Starmer, gained urgency after former U.S. President Donald Trump opened direct negotiations with Russia last month. Macron stressed the need for a 'credible' ceasefire framework, adding: 'This will be a chance to discuss and fine-tune.' 🇫🇷🤝🇬🇧
With Zelenskyy expected to attend, the summit could shape the conflict’s trajectory—and test Europe’s role as a peace broker. Stay tuned as leaders navigate this high-stakes diplomatic chessboard. ♟️🌐
