British, French, and Ukrainian military leaders are set to meet in the coming days to advance strategic security planning for Ukraine, following growing momentum among European allies. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy agreed to the meeting during a recent phone call, focusing on long-term defense coordination against Russian aggression.
The talks follow last week’s "coalition of the willing" summit in Paris, where European countries reaffirmed their commitment to bolstering Ukraine’s military. Britain and France are also working to broaden support for a proposed international "reassurance force," aimed at maintaining stability in the event of a truce with Russia.
According to a spokesperson for Prime Minister Starmer, both leaders emphasized the significance of continued unity and proactive planning. “There is real momentum to support Ukraine’s security for the long term,” the spokesperson said, highlighting shared priorities discussed during the Paris summit.
Zelenskiy praised the UK’s strong stance against Moscow, stressing the need for sustained international pressure. “Quite heavy pressure is needed to keep Russia from expanding the war,” he said. “Moscow now openly mocks our partners’ attempts to push forward a peace agenda.”
Meanwhile, the Kremlin announced on Monday that Russia and the United States are discussing potential ideas for a peace settlement, although details remain unclear. This comes as tensions escalate and Western allies increase support for Ukraine’s defense infrastructure.
The upcoming meeting between British, French, and Ukrainian military officials underscores a broader effort to solidify long-term security guarantees for Kyiv, even as diplomatic channels attempt to find a peaceful resolution to the ongoing war.
This high-level coordination highlights Europe’s commitment to countering Russian threats and ensuring Ukraine’s sovereignty in the face of prolonged conflict.
