Brussel 08.12.2025 Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met French, German and British leaders in London on Monday amid what Kyiv’s European allies described as a “decisive time” in the U.S.-led effort to end war.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer held talks with Zelenskyy, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at Downing St. in an attempt to strengthen Ukraine.

“This is the furthest we’ve got in four years, and we welcome the fact that these talks are continuing at every level,” said Starmer’s spokesman, Tom Wells, adding: “It isn’t a straight line between conflict and peace.”
He said “intensive work” will continue in the coming days, although “there are still outstanding issues.
Macron’s office said the session allowed the leaders “to continue joint work on the U.S. plan in order to complement it with European contributions, in close coordination with Ukraine.”
In an exchange with reporters on December 7 Trump appeared irritated with Zelenskyy, claiming the Ukrainian leader “hasn’t yet read the proposal.”
“Russia is, I believe, fine with it, but I’m not sure that Zelenskyy’s fine with it,” Trump said in Washington. “His people love it, but he hasn’t read it.
It’s not clear why Trump thought Zelenskyy hadn’t read the plan. Ukrainian officials have made sparing comments about it and few details of the negotiations have been made public.
