Macron Calls Emergency EU Summit As US, Russia Plan Ukraine Peace Talk Without Europe, Kiev Left Out

French President Emmanuel Macron has called an emergency summit after the US and Russia agreed to hold Ukraine peace talks in Saudi Arabia, excluding the EU and Kiev. The move comes after Trump and Putin’s first direct conversation since 2022, followed by diplomatic discussions on a potential summit. Polish FM Radoslaw Sikorski welcomed Macron’s initiative, emphasizing Europe’s need to counter Trump’s strategy. Ukrainian President Zelensky confirmed his country was not invited. The Guardian reports UK PM Keir Starmer will attend, but France has yet to reveal the full list of invitees.
