European leaders meet in Paris to address exclusion from Ukraine talks

European leaders will meet in Paris on Monday to discuss their response to the Trump administration's exclusion of Europe from Ukraine peace talks with Russia. The meeting aims to align positions on security and peace in the region. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to meet Russian officials in Saudi Arabia, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy not included. Zelenskyy has stated he will not accept decisions made without Ukraine's involvement. Concerns have grown among European leaders about a potential peace deal that could undermine Ukraine. Discussions may include appointing a special envoy for European interests and deploying troops to ensure a ceasefire in Ukraine.
