The possibility of a ceasefire/ Macron, Merz, Starmer and Tusk on a joint visit to Kiev

The leaders of France, Britain, Germany and Poland will make an unprecedented joint visit to Ukraine on Saturday for talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky, vowing to increase pressure on Russia until it agrees to a ceasefire.

The trip by French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is the first time that leaders of four European countries have made a joint visit to Ukraine.

More than three years after the Russian invasion, the hugely symbolic display of European unity comes a day after President Vladimir Putin struck a defiant tone at a parade in Moscow marking the 80th anniversary of victory in World War II.

After meeting with Tusk in France on Friday, Macron called for the rapid drafting of a US-Europe plan for a 30-day ceasefire that would be backed by massive economic sanctions if either side defies it. /CNA
