European leaders are set to accompany Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in a meeting with US President Trump to discuss the war in Ukraine and potential security guarantees. Notable leaders involved include Merkel, Macron, Starmer, Stubb, Meloni, von der Leyen, and Rutte. Putin's agreement to robust security guarantees was acknowledged as significant by Zelenskyy who insisted on European involvement in their development. Macron criticized Russia's proposed peace as a capitulation while Von der Leyen supported NATO-style guarantees from the US, asserting willingness from Europe to assist. Russia's spokesperson dismissed Macron's claims as false.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the announcement of robust security guarantees from the United States, calling it a historic decision that requires European participation.
French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized that there is only one state proposing a peace that leads to capitulation, referring to Russia's offers during the ongoing conflict.
Ursula von der Leyen noted that NATO-style security guarantees from the US signify a willingness from the coalition, including the European Union, to contribute to the defense of Ukraine.
Maria Zakharova from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs refuted Macron's remarks about capitulation, labeling them as an abject lie.
