Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and others to discuss peace plan as US tries to push through peace deal
Leaders of the “coalition of the willing” group of nations will hold a video call on Thursday as chaotic American efforts to push through a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine reach a crunch moment.
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said his officials would hand over a revised version of a peace plan to US negotiators on Wednesday before the call with leaders and officials from about 30 countries.
Zelenskyy will be on the call, along with Britain’s Keir Starmer, France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Friedrich Merz, who had a four-way meeting in Downing Street on Monday. They will be joined by numerous other leaders of nations supporting Ukraine.
“This week may bring news for all of us,” Zelenskyy wrote on X. “We believe that peace has no alternative, and the key questions are how to compel Russia to stop the killings and what specifically will deter Russia from a third invasion.
