Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky meets European leaders in London on Sunday as Keir Starmer hosts Emmanuel Macron and Friedrich Merz to discuss continued support for Ukraine and efforts to increase pressure on Russia. Multiple outlets report the meeting takes place at or near Downing Street, where Zelensky arrives to hold talks with the UK prime minister and the French and German leaders. The French presidency says the agenda focuses on coordinating a shared approach, including sustaining military and other assistance to Ukraine and stepping up pressure on Russia amid ongoing fighting and reported setbacks for Russian forces. Several reports also connect the timing of the visit to heightened hostilities, including a Russian drone strike that damages a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel near the Chornobyl nuclear power plant and kills people, as well as other accounts of air-defence concerns. Coverage agrees that Zelensky seeks continued European engagement in any future negotiations, while the European leaders’ discussions emphasize maintaining support and alignment on next steps. The meeting follows a period of increased tensions and comes after Vladimir Putin rejects Zelensky’s proposal for face-to-face talks with Moscow.
