President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet with European leaders on December 18. In particular, the issue of peacekeepers in Ukraine will be discussed at the meeting, Politico reports.

According to the newspaper, citing five sources, the meeting will take place “amid pressure from US President-elect Donald Trump, who is demanding that European countries monitor any future peace deal between Kyiv and Moscow by sending troops to Ukraine.”

“The meeting will be organized on the sidelines of an EU-Western Balkans summit on Wednesday afternoon, for which EU leaders will be travelling to Brussels,” the journalists note.

In addition to Rutte and Zelenskyy, the invited participants included German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, Polish President Andrzej Duda, European Council President Antonio Costa, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

In addition, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will also attend the meeting.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may visit Brussels next Wednesday. There he will meet with leaders of a number of European and NATO countries.
