The leaders from the four Kyiv allies had traveled to the Ukrainian capital together by train for a visit of more than nine hours with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The visit came shortly after Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov rejected calls<\/a> for an extended ceasefire as long as the West doesn’t stop its military support for Kyiv.<\/p>\n

French President Emmanuel Macron issued a direct rebuke to Russia’s demand, telling reporters that “anything that disturbs the process by imposing conditions is, in a way, a delaying tactic to avoid peace.”<\/p>\n

During the three-hour discussion between the leaders in Zelenskyy’s Mariinsky Palace, Macron had taken the initiative to call Trump<\/a> on his mobile phone and brief him together with the other leaders on the discussions.<\/p>\n

Trump picked up the call, even though it was still before 7 a.m. in Washington, and agreed to support the European demands, according to two officials with knowledge of the matter.<\/p>\n

The proposed ceasefire will have “oversight provided mainly by the United States of America, and to which all Europeans will contribute,” Macron later told reporters.<\/p>\n

The French president added that this would “enable the immediate launch” of negotiations for a “robust and lasting peace on the question of territories, the question of sensitive energy infrastructures, and of course the question of security guarantees.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The leaders from the four Kyiv allies had traveled to the Ukrainian capital together by train for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":90779,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7655],"tags":[2594,23404,3427,943,473,32,5898,2595,34,35,7058,12336,805,36,1945,1824,807,660,2597,2598,809,704,7337,770,332,2663,811,2824,461,657,15,49,333,771,335,1116],"class_list":{"0":"post-90778","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-russia","8":"tag-air-defense","9":"tag-ammunition","10":"tag-banking","11":"tag-canada","12":"tag-defense","13":"tag-donald-trump","14":"tag-donald-tusk","15":"tag-drones","16":"tag-emmanuel-macron","17":"tag-energy","18":"tag-european-defense","19":"tag-european-defense-policy","20":"tag-foreign-policy","21":"tag-france","22":"tag-friedrich-merz","23":"tag-germany","24":"tag-keir-starmer","25":"tag-kremlin","26":"tag-military","27":"tag-missiles","28":"tag-negotiations","29":"tag-new-zealand","30":"tag-olaf-scholz","31":"tag-poland","32":"tag-russia","33":"tag-sanctions","34":"tag-security","35":"tag-tanks","36":"tag-turkey","37":"tag-ukraine","38":"tag-united-kingdom","39":"tag-united-states","40":"tag-vladimir-putin","41":"tag-war","42":"tag-war-in-ukraine","43":"tag-weapons"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90778"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90778\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
