Lead lawmaker says Europe “has given a lot” to Ukraine and must be at the peace talks table

Europe must be involved in Ukraine peace talks given its investment in the crisis, Christophe Gomart, France’s former head of Military Intelligence told Euronews in an exclusive interview.

Gomart is vice-chair of the European Parliament’s committee of security and defence.

The Munich Security Conference begins today amid an exceptionally tense geopolitical climate. Following former US President Donald Trump’s announcement of his intention to engage in bilateral peace negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine, European leaders are grappling with significant concerns. On one hand, they are excluded from the peace talks; on the other, they may be expected to assume responsibility for any resulting settlement.

According to Gomart, Europe must be included in the negotiations, given that the war is taking place on European soil and the EU has already made substantial contributions.

Radio Schuman also discusses an official trip by European Parliament president Roberta Metsola in Israel and Palestine as well as the best European countries for pension incomes.

Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by David Brodheim. Music by Alexandre Jas.
