A summit dedicated to Ukraine will be held in London today, March 2. During the event, European politicians want to intensify their efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

During the summit, European countries intend to introduce important decisions on security guarantees for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia. This is stated on the website of the British government.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer initiated the summit to reiterate his unwavering support for Ukraine and his determination to find a way to end Russia's illegal war and guarantee Ukraine a lasting peace based on sovereignty and security.

A variety of topics, including strengthening Ukraine's position through continued military support and increased economic pressure on Russia, are to be discussed. The leaders will also talk on the need for a strong and long-term agreement that will ensure permanent peace and that Ukraine will be able to deter and defend itself against future Russian attacks. Another topic of discussion will be the next steps in planning for reliable security guarantees.

Ahead of the summit, the UK has already made it clear that it is ready to support Ukraine's future security through a military presence. Prime Minister Starmer said that a critical stage of the war is now approaching, during which it is necessary to support Ukraine and put it in the strongest possible position.

To recap, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on March 1. He also spoke on the phone with US and French leaders Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron.

Earlier, it was reported that Starmer tried to convince the presidents of the United States and Ukraine to return to the negotiating table after their dispute at the White House on February 28. In the end, London "failed" in an attempt to save the Ukrainian-American economic agreement.

As reported, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the signing of a loan agreement between Ukraine and the United Kingdom. This is done to strengthen our defense capabilities, and the loan will be repaid from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets.
