Details: The spokesperson said that Ursula von der Leyen, along with European state leaders, had a conversation with Trump in which he told them how the meeting with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin went.
"In addition to the [European Commission] president, the other participants in the conversation were: US President Trump, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, French President Macron, German Chancellor Merz, Finnish President Stubb, Polish President Nawrocki, UK Prime Minister Starmer, [NATO] Secretary General Rutte, US Secretary of State Rubio, and Special Envoy Witkoff. The president [Ursula von der Leyen] is now on the phone with European leaders. That's all I can tell you at the moment," the spokesperson said.
The spokeswoman made no mention of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, but European Pravda is informed that she was also on the call.
President Zelenskyy took part in the first conversation, after which the European leaders and von der Leyen continued the discussion separately.
A source told European Pravda that initially Trump and Zelenskyy spoke one-on-one for half an hour, then all the leaders listed joined in and the conversation went on for another hour.
Background:
- After the meeting between the US and Russian leaders in Alaska, Trump said he had reached an agreement with Putin on a territory exchange and that "President Zelenskyy has to agree".
- He also announced new talks with the Kremlin leader and said he would participate in a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin if it takes place.
