SIR Keir Starmer has hailed Volodymyr Zelensky’s desire for a “just and lasting peace” in Ukraine, amid worries a Russian land grab could result from negotiations to end the war.

The Prime Minister and France's President Emmanuel Macron chaired a meeting of the ‘coalition of the willing’ yesterday afternoon, as European leaders prepared for a meeting with United States President Donald Trump alongside Mr Zelensky in Washington DC today.

European leaders appear poised to join Mr Zelensky in a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian president, after his last encounter with his American counterpart in the Oval Office resulted in a diplomatic crisis.

After video call involving coalition allies, a Downing Street spokesman said: “The leaders reaffirmed their continued support to Ukraine, and praised President Zelensky’s desire for a just and lasting peace as he prepares for further consultations with President Trump in Washington DC.
