Leaders of European powers to meet for Ukraine talks
The leaders of Europe's top military powers will meet on June 24 in Berlin, Italy has announced, as Europe aims to play a bigger role in trying to end the Ukraine war.
The government said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni would attend the meeting with her British, French, German and Polish counterparts.
The announcement came just before British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would resign but remain in office until a new leader is chosen, meaning he could still attend the meeting.
The E5 group was formed in 2024 following increasing calls for European rearmament and to improve coordination to support Ukraine against the Russian invasion.
