  "account": "The Coalition of the Willing, a group of nations backing Kyiv, will convene remotely on Monday at 13:00 Kyiv time, as announced by the Élysée Palace. French President Emmanuel Macron will join via video link, alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the UK's newly appointed Prime Minister Andy Burnham. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will also attend. The statement from the Élysée Palace revealed that the leaders aim to bolster support for Ukraine against Russian aggression following the summit. The meeting, which will be chaired by Macron, will also discuss the establishment of a just, lasting, and sustainable peace in Ukraine, as per the Paris Declaration of January 6, 2026. It's worth noting that this gathering will mark the first time that Burnham will participate in the Coalition of the Willing. Additionally, NATO will be represented by its Deputy Secretary General, Radmila Šaraninska, and European Council President Antonio Costa will also partake in the discussion.",
  "summary": "The Coalition of the Willing, which brings together countries that support Kyiv, will meet on Monday at 13:00 Kyiv time in a \"hybrid\" format, meaning that some participants will attend the event in person, while others – including French President Emmanuel Macron – will participate via videoconference, the Élysée Palace said in a statement on Friday.",
