VK en Europese leiders bundelen krachten voor vredesplan Oekraïne
March 3, 2025 - UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said that European leaders had agreed to form a "coalition of the willing" and draw up a Ukraine peace plan to present to the United States.
At a summit in London just two days after Volodymyr Zelensky clashed with U.S. President Donald Trump and cut short a visit to Washington, European leaders offered a strong show of support to the Ukrainian president and promised to do more to help his nation.
European leaders agreed they must spend more on defence to show Trump the continent can protect itself, and the European Commission chief suggested the bloc could ease rules that limit debt levels.
Starmer, who welcomed a visibly shaken Zelenskiy on Saturday with a warm hug, said Britain, Ukraine, France and some other nations would form a "coalition of the willing" and draft a peace plan to take to Trump, Reuters said.
