Pro-Ukrainian Coalition to Meet in Kyiv

French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will co-chair the meeting of the so-called Coalition of the Willing in Kyiv on Monday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will also attend.

The Ukrainian capital has recently faced intense bombardment, prompting Zelensky to repeatedly appeal to allies for increased aid.

European Council President António Costa has confirmed his attendance at the meeting, while NATO Deputy Secretary General Radmila Shekerinska will join remotely.

According to Macron's office, the leaders will reaffirm their commitment to strengthening support for Ukraine as it defends itself against Russian aggression.
