French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz scheduled a meeting of the 'Coalition of the Willing' to be co-chaired in Paris on Monday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, European Council President Antonio Costa, and NATO Deputy Secretary General Radmila Shekerinska were confirmed to participate, with Zelenskiy joining from Kyiv. The meeting was prompted by recent heavy bombardment of the Ukrainian capital and Zelenskiy’s calls for increased allied support. Leaders aimed to reiterate their commitment to strengthening assistance for Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression.

The coordination between major European powers and NATO representatives suggests an effort to align future military or political support strategies for Ukraine. The meeting serves as a high-level response to the security pressures faced by the Ukrainian government following recent intensified attacks.
