Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky met key European allies in London on Monday as he faces US pressure to reach a swift peace deal with Russia.
Zelensky held talks with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
The meeting came amid US efforts to get Moscow and Kyiv to sign up – quickly – to a plan to end the war in Ukraine.
For Kyiv, the crucial issues are the question of ceding territory to Russia as part of any peace deal and obtaining strong security guarantees to ensure that Moscow respects an eventual agreement.
The big names Starmer hosted in London discussed hugely significant issues – not only for Ukraine’s future, but for the security of the continent as a whole.
