Overview

  • Keir Starmer will host a virtual meeting on Saturday to advance discussions on the 'coalition of the willing' for Ukraine, following the March 2 Lancaster House summit.
  • The coalition aims to support a ceasefire in Ukraine with potential military force, including peacekeeping deployments on the ground and in the air.
  • Around 20 nations, primarily from Europe and the Commonwealth, are expected to participate, though the full list of attendees has not been disclosed.
  • Spain has signaled readiness to contribute troops if security guarantees are met, while other European nations are increasing defense commitments.
  • The initiative comes as U.S. President Donald Trump suspends military aid to Ukraine and pressures President Zelensky to cede territory to Russia, complicating international efforts.
