French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed a quadrilateral meeting involving Russian President Vladimir Putin, former U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and European representatives to address the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Macron emphasized the importance of including Europe in the discussions to ensure security guarantees and promote stability in the region. The proposal follows Macron's attendance at the White House alongside other European leaders and Zelensky, where he advocated for this expanded format once Trump succeeds in convening the initial trilateral talks. While Macron highlighted the necessity of European participation, he did not specify which European representatives would be involved.
