<h6><strong>Aquí Europa</strong></h6> <h4><strong>French President Emmanuel Macron has called an extraordinary summit in Paris for this Monday, with the participation of European leaders to define a common strategy in the face of recent peace initiatives in Ukraine led by the United States. The meeting seeks to strengthen the European position in the negotiations and guarantee the security of the continent.</strong></h4> Macron's call comes in response to the actions of US President Donald Trump, who has started direct talks with Russia on the situation in Ukraine, excluding European allies. This decision has generated concern in European capitals, which fear being left out of a process that directly affects regional stability. Leaders from Germany, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, Denmark, the United Kingdom and Spain (the President of the Govenment, Pedro Sánchez) are expected to attend, as well as senior officials from the European Union and NATO. The main objective of the summit is to coordinate a unified response that will allow Europe to play an active role in peace negotiations and to consider options such as the deployment of a European peacekeeping force in Ukraine. Moreover, during the recent Munich Security Conference, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for the creation of a “European Army” and expressed doubts about the US commitment to Ukraine’s security. These statements underline the urgency for Europe to take greater responsibility for the defence and stability of the region. The Paris summit represents a crucial opportunity for European leaders to define a joint strategy and reaffirm their commitment to peace and security in Ukraine, especially in light of the possibility of a decrease in US military support. The unity and determination shown at this meeting will be decisive for the future of European foreign and defence policy.
