European leaders will join Volodymyr Zelenskiy at his high-stakes meeting with Donald Trump on Monday in Washington, a show of support as Ukraine's leader faces growing US pressure to agree to a quick peace deal with Russia that involves ceding swaths of territory.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General Mark Rutte, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and French President Emmanuel Macron have confirmed their participation. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will join the talks as well, according to Sky.

The move comes as European nations shift their focus towards providing Ukraine with robust security guarantees that will be discussed during a video call of the so-called coalition-of-the-willing countries on Sunday afternoon.
