Overview
- A hybrid meeting in Kyiv will bring more than 30 countries together under the Coalition of the Willing to coordinate support for Ukraine and seek political agreement on post‑ceasefire security arrangements.
- The coalition’s core task at the meeting is to outline security guarantees for Ukraine and to prepare operational steps that could enable a multinational reassurance force to deploy if a ceasefire occurs.
- European Council President Antonio Costa’s in‑person attendance was reported as confirmed by an EU official, and other leaders expected to come include President Volodymyr Zelensky, Finland’s Alexander Stubb, and Luxembourg’s Luc Frieden.
- The gathering is the coalition’s first Kyiv meeting since the U.K.’s Andy Burnham became co‑chair, and Poland has already announced autumn multinational drills designed to prepare forces for possible deployment under the coalition’s reassurance plans.
- Organizers are using a hybrid format and have limited public disclosure, so final attendance lists and any joint commitments are not yet public and will be the key outcomes to watch after the Kyiv talks.
