Ukraine war latest: Zelensky arrives at critical EU summit as leaders prepare peace deal to present to Trump
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived at Lancaster House in London for crunch talks on supporting Kyiv against Russia.
The Ukrainian leader is among more than a dozen leaders attending the meeting from a host of European nations, as well as Canada, Turkey and Nato. It is being held at Lancaster House, a 200-year-old elegant mansion near Buckingham Palace.
Mr Zelensky will also meet with King Charles in what is being seen as a moment of royal solidarity with Ukraine.
Sir Keir Starmer revealed earlier that he would present a peace plan to US president Donald Trump after a summit of European leaders in London today.
In an interview with the BBC this morning, Sir Keir said his recent conversations with Mr Zelensky, French leader Emmanuel Macron and Mr Trump have led to an agreement that the UK, alongside Paris and “possibly one or two others”, will work with Kyiv to draw up a “plan to stop the fighting”.
He added that the plan will then be discussed with the United States. “I think we’ve got a step in the right direction”, he said.
