"EPA French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky and other key allies of the country as efforts intensify to agree security guarantees for Kyiv in the event of a ceasefire with Russia. Heads of state and top officials from more than 30 countries - part of the so-called Coalition of the Willing - are taking part, including US mediators in peace talks Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law."
"Zelensky met Trump recently and said his plan to end the war with Russia was 90% agreed. However, the proposals have yet to be presented to Russia, whose response so far has been far from encouraging. The outstanding 10% of the agreement that's yet to be decided concerns territorial concessions Kyiv is being asked to agree to. Moscow currently controls about 75% of the Donetsk region, and some 99% of the neighbouring Luhansk. The two regions form the industrial region of Donbas."
French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and leaders from over 30 countries to agree security guarantees for Kyiv in case of a ceasefire with Russia. The meeting includes US mediators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and participants such as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Zelensky recently said his plan to end the war was 90% agreed, with the remaining 10% centering on territorial concessions Kyiv might accept. Russia controls about 75% of Donetsk and 99% of Luhansk and opposes temporary ceasefires. Leaders aim to agree on a multinational reassurance force, security guarantees against renewed attacks, and support for Ukraine's military and economy.
