French President Emmanuel Macron said that the meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and vladimir putin should take place in Europe, and advocated for it to be held in Geneva.
This was reported by BFMTV.
"This is more than a hypothesis, it is even a collective will," Macron said in an interview broadcast by the LCI channel, answering a question about holding this meeting in Europe, which was announced after a meeting in Washington between Donald Trump and several European leaders.
He added: "It will be a neutral country, so maybe Switzerland, I support Geneva, or another country. The last time bilateral talks were held in Istanbul."
Recall, US President Donald Trump announced the start of preparations for a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and russian president vladimir putin. According to Trump, a trilateral meeting will be held after this meeting.
Reuters, citing diplomatic sources, indicates that the United States and European partners have agreed to hold a trilateral summit with the leaders of Ukraine, the United States and russia - the meeting could take place in Europe, with Budapest being one of the possible locations.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he was not sure whether russian dictator vladimir putin "would have the determination" to come to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He added that Trump agrees that the meeting should take place within two weeks.
