French President Emmanuel Macron has called upon European leaders to convene in Paris on Monday for an urgent summit, aimed at addressing increasing worries that President Trump's recent shift in policy towards achieving peace in Europe poses a threat to the financial dynamics surrounding the Ukraine conflict.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, disclosed Macron's plans and expressed his expectation that European leaders will participate in significant discussions regarding the new Trump administration.

Sikorski pointed out that Trump's strategy, which the Russians refer to as 'reconnaissance through battle,' has compelled the West to reevaluate its approach.

The precise timing of the summit and the list of invited EU leaders remain unconfirmed, and a spokesperson for President Macron has not provided any details on the matter.

This development arises as the Trump administration's stance on peace in Europe has ignited discussions about its possible effects on the current conflict dynamics and the economic interests related to the Ukraine war.
