Bloomberg reporting that France and Estonia will host a meeting of European defence ministers on Monday to discuss bolstering support for Ukraine. The video conference is expected to include representatives from the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the European Union. 

  • The meeting will be the third summit of Ukraine's partners in a week, following a move by the Trump administration to restore diplomatic relations with Russia and prod Kyiv toward a negotiated peace settlement.
  • Bloomberg notes: “The defense ministers’ meeting will coincide with a trip to Kyiv — three years after Russia invaded Ukraine — by several European leaders, among them the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. EU foreign ministers will also meet in Brussels on Monday."
  • French President Emmanuel Macron will meet bilaterally with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to meet with Trump at the White House on Thursday.
