Well, looks like CNN got something right. Interesting article…..
CNN —
If there is ever a peace settlement in Ukraine, Emmanuel Macron will be at the center of it. If a deal is struck to recap Iran’s nuclear program, the French President will have been a key player. As the US girds for a new super power struggle with China, Macron is wielding France’s influence to stress that it too is a Pacific power. And with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel retired and after Britain took its ball and went home after Brexit, Macron is now the the top European leader and the strongest advocate for the EU.

hmmm I really don’t know, today MBS is meeting with Putin and if Macron is meeting with Z in Ukraine this could get quite interesting!
oops, I made a mistake, it should be MBZ who is meeting with Putin today in Russia.
