Zelenskyy says leaders of ‘coalition of the willing’ to meet in Kyiv
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that leaders from the “coalition of the willing” will meet in Kyiv on Saturday.
He did not specify who would be in attendance, but added that it would be a crucial meeting for European security.
This coalition includes approximately 30 countries, including Germany, led by France and Britain, who are allied with Ukraine and willing to support it after a possible ceasefire.
The US is not part of this coalition, although President Donald Trump has urged Kyiv and Moscow to agree on terms for a ceasefire.
Kyiv has been urging its European allies to send soldiers to enforce a potential ceasefire and to bolster defenses against any potential future aggression by Russia, as well as increasing sanctions.

Kremlin says it supports 30-day ceasefire — with ‘nuances’
“This theme was long put forward by the Ukrainian side. And as soon as it was advanced by the (US administration of Donald Trump), it was supported by President Vladimir Putin with the reservation that it is very difficult to discuss this in detail if no answers are found to a large number of nuances around the notion of a ceasefire,” Peskov said.
Russia has previously stated that the introduction of a long-term ceasefire depends on the establishment of mechanisms to monitor and maintain such a move.
