Starmer, European leaders to join Zelenskyy in Washington talks with Trump

European leaders, including those from Britain, Germany, France and France, will accompany Volodymyr Zelenskyy to meet Donald Trump in Washington, they said on Sunday, seeking to bolster him as the US president presses Ukraine to accept a quick peace.

Ahead of the Washington talks on Monday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer were hosting a meeting of allies on Sunday to shore up Zelenskyy's position, hoping in particular to lock down robust security guarantees for Ukraine that would include a US role.
