France to convene UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine during high-level week, source says
France, which will assume the presidency of the UN Security Council on September 1, plans to convene a separate meeting on Ukraine. It will most likely take place during the high-level week of the UN General Assembly in New York.
France plans to convene a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine during the upcoming High-Level Week, according to a French diplomatic source. The meeting is expected to be held at the highest political level, potentially involving heads of state or ministers. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's participation is also being considered, as he attended a similar meeting last year.
French President Emmanuel Macron will join the UN delegation, as Paris holds the presidency of the Security Council throughout September, marking its 70th term in this role. The primary objective of France's presidency is to promote multilateralism in support of international peace and security, with a focus on Ukraine and the Middle East.
The French presidency will also address the election of a new UN Secretary-General and continue efforts to reform the Security Council, including the Franco-Mexican initiative to reduce the use of the veto in cases of mass crimes.
