French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed Geneva, Switzerland, as a potential venue for a summit between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Macron emphasized that the meeting should take place in Europe and in a neutral country. Switzerland and Austria have both expressed willingness to host the talks, despite the International Criminal Court's warrant against Putin. Other countries under consideration include Hungary, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. The idea of holding the summit in Europe follows discussions involving leaders such as former U.S. President Donald Trump and European officials. The selection of a neutral location aims to facilitate dialogue between the two leaders.
