Reuters. Some 30 Western leaders were holding talks in Paris on Thursday (September 4) with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy over security guarantees for Kyiv in the event of a peace deal with Russia, hoping to do enough to persuade the United States to back their efforts.
The summit, both in person and by video-link, of the ‘coalition of the willing’ brings together leaders, including Europe’s biggest countries, but also the likes of Australia, Canada and Japan.
Members of the coalition, which does not include the U.S., have talked for months at various levels to define their prospective military support for Ukraine to help deter Russia from attacking it again if and when there is a final truce – still a remote prospect.
Zelenskiy is set to attend the video call alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and other leaders in the early afternoon. He is also expected to have a one-on-one meeting with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, according to a person familiar with the matter.
