Baltic and Nordic leaders in Denmark’s Copenhagen meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The gathering brings together the leaders of the Nordic-Baltic Eight (NB8) to discuss Ukraine’s future. Finnish President Alexander Stubb said progress was being made on security guarantees for Ukraine. United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron will co-host Thursday’s mostly virtual meeting of leaders of the so-called “coalition of the willing”. Western officials have said such guarantees are aimed at deterring Russia from launching another war after hostilities end. They are expected to centre on continued military support for Kyiv, along with an international force to reassure Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says any future settlement must reflect what it calls “new territorial realities” Putin has suggested any eventual deal would involve Ukraine ceding some territory. Zelenskyy has repeatedly rejected such concessions, warning that losing any territory would embolden Russia to launch new attacks in the future.
