British defence minister John Healey will meet U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington on Thursday to discuss a peace plan for Ukraine, Britain's ministry of defence said, APA reports citing Reuters.

Healey's visit comes as European leaders race to draw up a peace plan to present to Washington after U.S. President Donald Trump paused military aid to Ukraine on Monday following a fallout with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

After meetings with world leaders at the weekend, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would continue to speak with friends and allies to secure a path to a lasting peace.

"We will advance that work in Washington over the coming days," Healey said in a statement on Wednesday.
