Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London on Thursday, a day before U.S. President Donald Trump holds talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
The meeting with Starmer is set for 9:30 a.m. local time (0830 GMT) at the prime minister’s official residence, 10 Downing Street.
Zelenskyy, who was in Germany on Wednesday, has been working with European leaders to urge Trump not to agree to any arrangement at the summit in Anchorage that would see Moscow gain Ukrainian territory.
Trump joined the Germany-hosted virtual meeting with European leaders and Zelenskyy yesterday, to discuss setting boundaries for a possible peace deal. Zelenskyy said he warned Trump that Putin was “bluffing” about wanting to end the conflict.
Trump later told reporters that there would be “severe consequences” if Putin did not agree to peace, without providing specifics. He has previously suggested economic sanctions if the Alaska meeting fails.
The U.S. president described the talks with Putin as “setting the table” for a possible second meeting that would also involve Zelenskyy.
“If the first one goes okay, we’ll have a quick second one,” Trump said. “I would like to do it almost immediately.”
Britain, France and Germany, co-chairs of the “Coalition of the Willing,” outlined their position on a potential pathway to a ceasefire in Ukraine in a statement released after Wednesday’s conference.
