Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he had a “good and productive” meeting with US President-elect Donald Trump and French leader Emmanuel Macron Saturday and that they wanted the war with Russia to end fast and “in a just way.”
The trio met at the Elysee Palace in Paris, almost three years into Moscow’s invasion and ahead of Trump taking office in the US in January.
“I had a good and productive trilateral meeting with President Donald Trump and President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace,” Zelensky said on social media.
“We all want this war to end as soon as possible and in a just way,” he said.
He thanked Macron for organising the meeting and said: “President Trump is, as always, resolute. I thank him.”
Zelensky said the trio had “agreed to continue working together and keep in contact.”
His office released images of Zelensky shaking hands with Macron and Trump inside the Elysee office.
