European leaders have planned an emergency summit on Ukraine, according to multiple outlets.
The summit has been referred to as a “once in a generation” national security moment by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, CNN reported
The BBC reported that French President Emmanuel Macron will pull together the Monday summit, which will happen in Paris.
Last Wednesday, President Trump said he expects to meet face-to-face with Russian President Vladimir Putin multiple times, with the president implying that they are probably going to meet first in Saudi Arabia.
“We ultimately expect to meet,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “In fact, we expect that he’ll come here, and I’ll go there, and we’re going to meet also, probably in Saudi Arabia. The first time we’ll meet in Saudi Arabia.”
The Hill’s sister network NewsNation reported Saturday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff were also probably meeting high-level Russian officials soon in Saudi Arabia to talk about an end to the war in Ukraine.
However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky previously said that Ukraine has not received an invitation to any Saudi Arabia meeting between officials from Trump and Russia.
“It is strange to hold a meeting in such format before we had consultations with our strategic partners,” Zelensky said Saturday to reporters in Munich.
The Hill has reached out to the U.K. Cabinet Office.
