French President Emmanuel Macron will host European leaders, including Britain's prime minister on Monday for an emergency summit on the Ukraine war after U.S. officials suggested Europe would have no role in any talks on ending the conflict.

An extraordinary summit convened by Emmanuel Macron has begun in Paris. The President of France invited European leaders to discuss security issues on the continent. He made the decision on Saturday following suggestions from the USA that Europe would be excluded from talks on ending the war in Ukraine.

The hastily called gathering was part of a flurry of diplomacy expected to center on Ukraine this week as Trump officials prepare to start talks with Russia on their own.
