Macron To Lead EU Talks with Russia? | Paris Seen as Key Voice for Ukraine Peace Bid From EU

French President Emmanuel Macron may soon take a leading role in representing the EU’s interests in potential talks with Russia over the Ukraine conflict, according to a report by The Telegraph. While UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer has ruled out engagement, Macron is reportedly open to negotiation “when the time is right.” With Washington’s efforts ongoing and Trump hesitant, Europe’s "coalition of the willing" is eyeing Paris to spearhead talks. Moscow has denied receiving formal proposals.
