Why has French President Emmanuel Macron convened a summit in Paris regarding Ukraine?

President Macron has convened the Paris summit in response to U.S. and Russian officials preparing to meet without European participation to discuss Ukraine's situation. This emergency gathering represents a strategic bid to reassert European relevance in the geopolitical dialogue surrounding Ukraine's future. The summit aims to find a path forward for Europe amid its apparent exclusion from critical negotiations between major powers. As highlighted in the clip, the central question emerging from this initiative is whether the Paris meeting can successfully restore Europe's voice and influence in decisions affecting Ukraine and broader European security interests.
