European foreign ministers are set to convene in London for "critical" discussions on Ukraine, two days after allies of Kyiv issued an ultimatum to Moscow to accept a 30-day ceasefire. The meeting, hosted by UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy at Lancaster House, will include ministers from France, Germany, Poland, Spain, and representatives from the EU and Italy, specifically Benjamin Haddad for France, Kaja Kallas for the EU, and a representative from Italy within the Weimar+ group.
The talks aim to address "repelling Russian aggression" and to strengthen European security, with a focus on securing a just and lasting peace for Ukraine. Lammy emphasized the existential nature of the challenge, stating it concerns not only Ukraine's future but the entirety of Europe.
The meeting follows a visit to Kyiv by the leaders of France, Germany, Poland, and the UK, including Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz, Donald Tusk, and Keir Starmer, where they, alongside the United States, demanded Russia agree to a 30-day ceasefire to facilitate peace talks. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed direct negotiations with Ukraine in Istanbul, without addressing the ceasefire demand. Lammy had previously discussed the situation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who confirmed Washington's priority for an immediate ceasefire, as stated by spokesperson Tammy Bruce. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky invited Putin to meet personally in Istanbul.
