Paris – “We will hold a summit of the coalition of volunteers next Thursday,” the countries willing to contribute in one way or another to “security guarantees” for Ukraine as part of a possible peace agreement, said the French president at the end of a European Union council in Brussels.

“The objective for me on Thursday is first that there is a reiterated and explicit and perhaps a little specified commitment on the short-term supports to Ukraine,” he stated. 

This new summit, following several meetings in Paris and London since early March, will take place after talks conducted by the United States with Russia and Ukraine to ensure a limited truce, scheduled for Monday in Saudi Arabia.
