Moscow “cannot have a veto” on whether Ukraine joins the European Union or NATO, European leaders insisted on Saturday after talks between US President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
A statement, notably signed by French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, also said the leaders were “ready to work … towards a trilateral summit with European support” including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
