Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and others to discuss peace plan as US tries to push through peace deal

Leaders of the “coalition of the willing” group of nations will hold a video call on Thursday as chaotic American efforts to push through a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine reach a crunch moment.

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said his officials would hand over a revised version of a peace plan to US negotiators on Wednesday before the call with leaders and officials from about 30 countries.

    On March 1, 2025, Czech president Petr Pavel made a social media post on X, calling for the formation of a coalition of the willing to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The next day, British prime minister Keir Starmer echoed this sentiment after an international summit hosted in London between 18 European leaders. He said that the UK would work with France and other European countries to provide security guarantees for Ukraine, with a long-term goal of a peace agreement of some kind with Russia.

    On August 18, 2025 President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen termed the emergency summit of European leaders at the August 2025 White House multilateral meeting on Ukraine “the Coalition of the Willing”.
