UK Prime Minister will co-host today's meeting of the Coalition of the Willing alongside President Macron in Paris.
According to the Élysée Palace, 31 countries, including NATO allies, EU member states, and non-EU countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Norway are expected to attend.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer will present the outcomes of this week’s planning meetings in support of Ukraine, which took place at the UK military operational headquarters in Northwood over the last three days.
The intensive sessions, which convened over 200 military planners from countries across the globe, considered in detail the structure of any future force to ensure Ukraine can defend itself from future Russian aggression.
Planning so far has looked across the full range of European military capabilities including aircraft, tanks, troops, intelligence and logistics capabilities – and discussions have centred on how European nations can contribute their own capabilities to support any future force, - said in statement of gov.uk. Discussions will continue around military planning of air, sea and land forces that would be required to support a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
Prime Minister expected to say: "Unlike President Zelenskyy, Putin has shown he’s not a serious player in these peace talks. Playing games with the agreed naval ceasefire in the Black Sea despite good faith participation from all sides – all while continuing to inflict devastating attacks on the Ukrainian people. His promises are hollow," - the statement reads citing UK Prime Minister Starmer.
The US is playing a leading role by convening the ceasefire talks, while Europe is stepping up to play its part to defend Ukraine’s future.
