Leaders gather for Coalition of the Willing' talks on Ukraine security guarantees  Europe live
"The so-called Coalition of the Willing is meeting today in Paris and online for further talks on security guarantees for Ukraine in case of a peace deal with Russia. Hosted by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, a group of mostly European leaders including Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy will discuss how to turn their will to help Ukraine into concrete, specific guarantees that would give Ukraine the confidence that any peace arrangement with Russia could hold."
"For what it's worth, Trump declared last night that he had been thinking about organising a face-to-face meeting between Zelenskyy and Russia's Vladimir Putin, but did not commit to any specific action. Something is going to happen, but they are not ready yet. But something is going to happen. We are going to get it done, he told CBS. Earlier, he told reporters at a meeting with the Polish president, Karol Nawrocki, that Putin would have to make a decision on next steps"
European leaders, hosted by Emmanuel Macron, convene in Paris and online with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy to negotiate security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a peace deal with Russia.

Leaders begin talks at 9am BST/10am CEST and will hold a call with US president Donald Trump at 1pm BST/2pm CEST, with outcomes to be announced shortly thereafter.
