Macron Calls Emergency Summit Over Exclusion of Europe in Ukraine Peace Talks

French President Emmanuel Macron convened an emergency meeting of European leaders following remarks by Keith Kellogg, President Trump's special envoy for Ukraine, who stated that Europe would not have a role in peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. This prompted concerns among European officials about being sidelined in discussions that could significantly impact their security. Kellogg's comments emphasized the need for European nations to contribute concrete proposals rather than focus on their exclusion from negotiations, which has angered many leaders. Macron and Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski highlighted the urgency for Europe to create its own strategic plan regarding Ukraine's future. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that European leaders might not have a seat at the table and cautioned against Trump negotiating with Putin without their involvement. The meeting aims to address these growing tensions and the necessity for a unified European response to the situation in Ukraine.
