President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with British, French and German leaders in London on Monday, rallying allies for support as the United States increases pressure on Kyiv to agree to a proposed peace deal with Russia, APA reports, citing Reuters.
France's President Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who are travelling to London for the meeting, voiced their support for Zelenskyy as concerns grow that the U.S. could force Kyiv to accept terms that favour Russia.
"We are starting a new diplomatic week right now – there will be consultations with European leaders," Zelenskyy told Ukrainians in a video address on Sunday evening, recorded as he was travelling in a train.
"First and foremost, security issues, support for our resilience, and support packages for our defence. First and foremost, air defence and long-term funding for Ukraine. Of course, we will discuss a shared vision and common positions in the negotiations."
Ukraine is going through one of the most difficult stages in the nearly four-year war. Russian troops are slowly grinding forward in the east, and Ukrainian cities and towns are plunged into darkness for hours due to intensified Russian strikes on the energy grid and other infrastructure.
