British officials are holding talks with up to 20 countries in an effort to rally support for Ukraine.
The countries according to a UK official include mostly European and Commonwealth nations in what is termed ‘coalition of the willing’.
Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister had earlier announced on Sunday the adoption of a coalition to draw up plans to offer Ukraine support in the event of a peace deal.
According to the Downing Street source, it is still “early stages” and the “situation is very fluid” he said while declining to comment on what countries would form part of this coalition apart from the UK and France who have been vocal about standing with Ukraine.
It is unclear whether the number of interested parties so far is set to increase at this time.
This comes against the backdrop of an emergency meeting of EU leaders currently happening in Brussels.
Meanwhile Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed his gratitude while meeting Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Union saying he is “thankful” that Ukraine is not alone.
