Summary
Sunday evening is the current target for Volodymyr Zelenskyy to meet the UK, French and German leaders in Britain to map out how to bring Russia into negotiations.
The gathering is part of a renewed push to end more than 4 years of war, with the four leaders focusing on a possible path toward talks rather than announcing direct negotiations.
Zelenskyy’s travel plans are still subject to change, and people familiar with the matter said the meeting could yet be shifted.
If it goes ahead as planned, the UK session would mark a coordinated European effort to shape the next phase of diplomacy over the war.

Overview
The London Summit on December 8, 2025, brought together European leaders and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy to discuss Ukraine’s ongoing conflict and peace efforts. This meeting happened as the United States increased pressure for a rapid resolution, while President Zelenskiy focused on securing long-term support and stronger security for Ukraine. At the same time, the Trump administration’s new national security strategy marked a shift in U.S. foreign policy, signaling less reliable security guarantees for Europe and questioning future U.S. support for Ukraine. These changes pushed European leaders to show greater solidarity with Ukraine and seek more robust security measures.
