French President Emmanuel Macron called Monday for a four-way meeting including Europeans in response to US President Donald Trump's hopes of bringing together the Ukrainian and Russian presidents.

"I think as a follow up we would need probably a quadrilateral meeting, because when we speak about security guarantees, we speak about the whole security of the European continent," Macron said at a White House meeting bringing together European leaders, Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
