The UK is in discussions to convene a group of European leaders for further talks about Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to people familiar with the matter, following a week of shuttle diplomacy between Paris, Washington and Kyiv.
The UK is in discussions to host a meeting of European leaders to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine and defense, following recent diplomatic efforts between Paris, Washington, and Kyiv. The meeting could take place as soon as Sunday and would follow summits in Paris led by French President Emmanuel Macron. The plans are not finalized and could still change, with a virtual option also being considered. European leaders are working to maintain a united stance amid efforts to prevent a rushed ceasefire deal with Russia, which could embolden Moscow and weaken European security. The potential UK-hosted meeting would allow leaders to assess their recent conversations with US President Donald Trump and his officials.
