In Paris, a three-way meeting has concluded between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, French President Emmanuel Macron, and newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump. The negotiations lasted for 35 minutes but details remain scarce. Currently, it is unclear what specific topics were addressed during this brief discussion.
Press secretary of the President of Ukraine, Serhiy Nykyforov, reported that the meeting between Zelensky, Trump, and Macron lasted 35 minutes. He shared this information with RBC-Ukraine.
Following the meeting, the leaders headed to Notre-Dame Cathedral, where a ceremonial reopening will take place after an extensive restoration prompted by the massive fire in 2019, which was caused by a significant blaze.
We remind you that on December 7, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is in Paris for a working visit that combines diplomatic talks and participation in cultural events. Earlier on Saturday, he met with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss continued support for Ukraine amid Russian aggression, energy security, and humanitarian aid. Furthermore, the President of Ukraine aims to consolidate international support to strengthen our country's position on the global stage.
Nearly 40 world leaders are expected to attend the Notre-Dame reopening ceremony. The festivities will take place inside the cathedral due to adverse weather conditions. Zelensky, Macron, and Trump will participate in this significant event, symbolizing the restoration of European cultural heritage.
