Zelensky, Macron meet in Brussels, coordinate steps toward peace

The Ukrainian leader stated this on his Telegram channel, according to Ukrinform.

"I had a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on the sidelines of the European Council meeting today in Brussels. I thanked Emmanuel for his clear and principled stance in support of Ukraine and the need for new, more substantial steps to protect our entire Europe -- our peoples, our institutions, and our European way of life," Zelensky wrote.

Both sides discussed a meeting scheduled for March 11 at the level of military representatives from countries "willing to put in greater efforts to ensure reliable security in the context of ending this war."

"We coordinated our positions and next steps. We have an absolutely clear shared vision that real and lasting peace is possible through cooperation between Ukraine, all of Europe, and the United States. The war must end as soon as possible," Zelensky added.
