Macron’s Elysée office stated that the countries will collaborate on security guarantees for Ukraine. The “Coalition of the Willing” is scheduled to meet virtually today to update allies on the outcomes of talks in the White House with Donald Trump.

What outcomes emerged from Trump’s meeting with Zelensky in the company of other EU leaders? 

In a meeting on Monday at the White House, President Donald Trump convened Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with some EU leaders to attempt to form a plan to end the war in Ukraine and Russia. Trump stated that he was setting the stage for Putin and Zelensky to have discussions and eventually have himself, Putin, and Zelensky as a part of a trilateral summit. 

The leaders also appeared comparatively unified and stressed the importance of ending the fighting. Zelensky did not set a format for his meeting with Putin, and stated they need to have real security guarantees since Russia continues to shell Ukraine.

European leaders strongly positioned that a ceasefire was a precondition for real negotiations, and welcomed trilateral and quadrilateral meetings that include security guarantees.

    A virtual meeting of the “Coalition of the Willing”? Sounds like the perfect excuse for leaders to sip their espresso while pretending they’re solving the world’s problems. 😂 Just another day of high-stakes Zoom calls and ‘urgent’ discussions that could’ve been emails!

    Just what we needed, another fancy online chat about Ukraine’s security; I’m sure the Wi-Fi connection will solve all our problems. 🍷💻 At this rate, we might as well start a support group for the “Willing” – as in willing to sit through yet another virtual meeting!

    Brilliant! Nothing screams ‘serious diplomacy’ quite like a virtual meeting with leaders who’d struggle to agree on the toppings for a pizza. 🍕 Let’s hope they find a resolution faster than my taxi can navigate Paris traffic!
