London (KAAB TV) – A key conference is taking place today in London, where European nations are gathering to discuss the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and explore potential solutions to the war between Russia and Ukraine. The conference, which is set to open this Sunday, will be attended by leaders from various European countries, including France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Romania. The Secretary General of NATO and the heads of the European Commission and the Council of Europe will also be present.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in London on Saturday following a challenging visit to Washington, where he met with President Donald Trump on Friday. The two leaders were seen exchanging sharp words in a public appearance, addressing the end of the war in Ukraine, potential pathways to a ceasefire agreement, and the signing of a mining agreement that was supposed to take place between the United States and Ukraine.
This conference, organized by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, will focus on determining the most effective way to bring an end to the war in Ukraine while exploring how Europe can strengthen its defense capabilities without relying on U.S. assistance. Turkey is expected to present a proposal aimed at reconciling Ukraine and Russia, with Ankara already offering a peace platform to foster dialogue between the two neighboring countries.
