EU leaders meet in Paris to discuss Ukraine's security guarantees
European leaders met in Paris to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine. This follows U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to hold peace talks with Russia, excluding European allies and Ukraine. The leaders agreed that a ceasefire should not be reached without a simultaneous peace agreement. They emphasized the need for security guarantees, which will depend on American support. French President Emmanuel Macron led the meeting, attended by leaders from several European countries and NATO. They expressed a unified stance on a "peace through strength" approach.
