The president added that they also discussed further defense support for Ukraine.

The head of state thanked the leaders for "their willingness to be with our people and help on the way to peace."

He did not give any other specifics.

"This meeting [...] allowed us to reaffirm our unwavering support for Ukraine, as well as our continued commitment to a lasting and durable peace in Ukraine." wrote The Élysée Palace, the French presidential Administration.

They added that the meeting was an opportunity to summarize the results of the ongoing US-mediated negotiations, as well as the security guarantees developed, in particular, within the framework of the "coalition of the willing".

Earlier in the meeting, Merz expressed his skepticism about "some of the details in the documents coming from the United States," adding that this was why he and his colleagues had gathered that day. At the same time, Macron said that the partners have "a lot of cards".

  • US leader Trump has previously stated that he is disappointed with Zelenskyy's failure to familiarize himself with the US "peace plan".
  • The president of Ukraine himself said that he was waiting for the report of the Ukrainian delegation after its visit to the United States, in particular, regarding what Russia had told the Americans during the negotiations in Moscow.
