Ukraine allies to gather in Paris to step up pressure on Russia
Allies of Ukraine will gather in Paris on July 13 with the war-torn country's leader Volodymyr Zelensky to reaffirm support for Kiev and step up pressure on Russia, according to the French presidency.
The summit meeting of the Coalition of the Willing — launched by France and the United Kingdom to provide military support to Ukraine after Russia's full-scale invasion — will push for a ceasefire and renewed peace talks, the French presidency said on Friday.
At least 25 heads of state will attend the meeting, which comes the day before France's national public holiday Bastille Day.
Zelensky and other leaders will stay for the military parade on the Champs Elysees in central Paris on July 14, which will highlight support for Ukraine, the Elysee said.
