European Leaders to Gather in Paris for Emergency Summit on Ukraine

European leaders are gathering for an emergency summit on Ukraine amid concerns that U.S.-Russia negotiations could exclude the continent from key decisions
European leaders are set to convene in Paris for an emergency summit focused on the war in Ukraine.
The meeting follows growing concerns that the United States is advancing negotiations with Russia that could sideline Europe from the process.
U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy to Ukraine has stated that while European leaders will be consulted, they will not participate in direct talks between the U.S. and Russia. He attributed previous negotiation failures to the involvement of too many parties.
Trump’s top administration officials are scheduled to meet senior Russian officials in Saudi Arabia to begin discussions.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called the Paris summit a "once-in-a-generation moment for our national security" and is expected to attend. He will also present European leaders' views when he meets President Trump at the White House later this month.
A follow-up meeting between European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected after Starmer returns from Washington.
