French, British, German leaders to co-chair meeting on Ukraine on Monday

-

PARIS, Aug ‌21 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron, ​British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and German Chancellor ⁠Friedrich Merz will co-chair a meeting of the so-called Coalition of the Willing ​group of pro-Ukrainian countries on Monday.

Ukrainian President ‌Volodymyr Zelenskiy will be at the meeting in Kyiv, which will be attended both ⁠in person and remotely, Macron's ⁠office said on Friday, without specifying who will be there in person. The Ukrainian capital has come under heavy ‌bombardment recently, and Zelenskiy has pleaded with ⁠his allies to do ‌more to help his ​country.    

European Council President Antonio Costa will attend the meeting in person and NATO ‌Deputy Secretary General Radmila Shekerinska ​will participate ⁠remotely, NATO and the EU said ‌in separate statements.

"The ⁠leaders will reiterate their determination to strengthen their support for Ukraine so that it ​can defend itself ‌against Russian aggression," Macron's office said in ⁠a statement.
