Zelenskyy to meet Starmer at Downing Street to discuss US draft peace deal

Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet with Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Friedrich Merz at Downing Street on Monday to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The meeting aims to show support for Ukraine and address US-Ukrainian talks regarding a potential peace deal guaranteeing Ukraine's postwar security. This follows a virtual meeting where a European peacekeeping force was discussed. The US-brokered draft peace deal, initially criticized for favoring Russia, has been amended by Ukraine, though disagreements remain, particularly regarding territorial integrity. Recent Russian attacks have targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The meeting occurs as US and Ukrainian officials continue talks in Florida, while Russia has already rejected parts of the proposed plan.
