French President Emmanuel Macron is taking advantage of the participation of newly-elected US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian Head of State Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the ceremonial reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris ahead of an earlier triple gathering at the Elysée Palace.
Zelenskyj accompanied Macron and Trump at the meeting around 5:30 p.m., the Elysée announced on Saturday. Two individual meetings between Macron and Trump and Zelensky were originally announced.
Nehammer spoke to Zelenskyj
ÖVP Chancellor Karl Nehammer had previously spoken to Zelensky and offered him Austria as a venue for peace talks. On “As a neutral country, Austria is always ready to organize peace talks,” he added. Nehammer had previously offered Austria in a telephone conversation with Trump as a location for peace talks.
Expanding support to Ukraine
For his part, Zelensky did not refer to peace talks in his post on X. “I expressed my gratitude for Austria’s support to Ukraine, and we discussed expanding this support for the coming year, with a focus on supporting our energy system in winter and protecting Ukrainians from Russian terror,” he wrote.
“I have invited Austria to join the G-7 joint declaration of support to Ukraine and sign a bilateral agreement on future long-term support,” he added. “Together we must force Russia to create a lasting and just peace.”
