Ukraine’s allies to meet in Berlin next week
More than 20 heads of state and government are expected to attend a summit on Nov 19, including French president Emmanuel Macron and British prime minister Andy Burnham.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced that Ukraine's allies will convene a "Coalition of the Willing" summit in Berlin on November 19. This meeting aims to unite the allies' positions ahead of forthcoming peace negotiations. French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Andrew Burnham are anticipated to participate in the Berlin gathering, as the event unfolds amid increased diplomatic efforts to resolve the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
A total of over 20 heads of state and government are projected to attend the summit. German Chancellor Merz stated that the primary objectives are to secure funding for Ukraine's defense budget until 2027 and to establish a unified stance regarding the upcoming peace talks.
In recent weeks, Russian and Ukrainian representatives convened in Abu Dhabi for mediation by the United States. Although progress appears limited, Washington has expressed a desire for European nations to join the diplomatic discussions, a stance Russia has thus far declined to accept. Conversely, Moscow advocates linking the conclusion of the war in Ukraine to the negotiation of a new European security framework.
Germany, one of Ukraine's most crucial military, financial, and humanitarian backers, remains steadfast in its unwavering support for Kyiv.
