European Leaders Convene in London — Macron, Starmer and Merz Meet Zelenskyy on Ukraine Support

Historic London Summit: Macron, Zelenskyy, Starmer and Merz Meet to Discuss Ukraine’s Future

On 6 December 2025, European leaders are gathering in London for a high‑stakes summit at Downing Street. The meeting brings together French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The summit aims to explore ways to strengthen European support for Ukraine amid Russia’s ongoing war.

President Macron reaffirmed France’s commitment to supporting Kyiv and emphasized the importance of safeguarding Ukraine’s sovereignty and security. British Prime Minister Starmer and German Chancellor Merz also underscored the need for a coordinated European approach to peace and stability.

The meeting is part of broader efforts under what some leaders describe as the “Coalition of the Willing,” an initiative seeking to coordinate European backing for Ukraine. Discussions reportedly include potential ceasefire proposals, security guarantees, and ways to support Ukraine’s reconstruction once hostilities end.

President Zelenskyy described the summit as an important opportunity to strengthen European-Ukrainian ties and work toward long-term peace and security. While the summit does not yet result in finalized agreements, it represents a key moment for continued dialogue and coordination among European allies.

As Russia’s recent missile and drone attacks have targeted Ukraine’s energy and rail infrastructure, the stakes are high. Analysts say the outcome of the summit could influence the trajectory of European support and Ukraine’s path toward stability.
