  • PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 27: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is greeted by French President Emmanuel Macron ahead of the ‘Coalition Of The Willing’ summit in support of Ukraine at Elysee Palace on March 27, 2025 in Paris, France. French President Emmanuel Macron is convening a summit of EU and NATO members from 31 countries to outline additional support for Ukraine, as it continues to defend itself against Russia’s full-scale invasion. A primary aim of the summit is to discuss potential peacekeeping measures, including troops on the ground from the so-called “Coalition of the Willing.” The summit comes after the United States announced Tuesday that it had brokered a partial ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine in the Black Sea.
