Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made an unscheduled dash to London on Monday for high-stakes talks with key European leaders amid pressure from Washington over a contentious peace proposal that has reached a boiling point.
The meeting — held at 10 Downing Street with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz — aimed to consolidate European support for Kyiv amid growing fears that a US-backed framework could force Ukraine into territorial concessions that Moscow has long demanded.
