On May 10, 2025, leaders from France, the UK, Germany, and Poland met in Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to advocate for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, set to begin on May 12. French President Emmanuel Macron, alongside his counterparts, announced the initiative after a joint phone call with US President Donald Trump, who supported the proposal. The leaders issued a statement emphasizing the need to end the bloodshed and urged Russia to halt its invasion. Zelenskyy specified that the ceasefire would cover air, sea, and land operations, with a promise of new sanctions on Russia’s energy and banking sectors if Moscow does not comply. This marked the first joint visit by these four European leaders to Ukraine, highlighting a unified European stance on the conflict and a commitment to peace negotiations.
