Lammy and Vance to hold meeting to discuss US-brokered Ukraine peace plan
Briefly

A meeting between UK foreign secretary David Lammy and US vice-president JD Vance is scheduled in Britain to address peace efforts in Ukraine. This follows a controversial comment from US President Trump regarding potential territorial swaps for peace. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy firmly opposed this notion, stating that any agreements made without Ukraine would be ineffective. The meeting aims to support Ukraine amid fears of being excluded from discussions, especially with Trump's upcoming meeting with Putin. The UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, reinforced his support for Ukraine during a recent phone call with Zelenskyy.
Ukrainians will not give their land to occupiers, stressing that any decisions made without Ukraine are against peace and will ultimately be ineffective.
The summit in Chevening will focus on the US-brokered push for peace in Ukraine and how partners can support this effort amid concerns of sidelining Kyiv.
