European Diplomacy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz in London on Monday, seeking to reinforce European support amid fraught contacts with Donald Trump’s circle over potential peace terms. The gathering comes as Russia steps up attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid and as Trump and his advisers signal they may push for a swift deal that Kyiv fears would come at the expense of its territorial integrity.
