British Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed he had a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier on Saturday. The summary of their call noted that both leaders acknowledged the importance of the meeting in Kent as a crucial platform for discussing the progress toward achieving a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has been in touch with EU leaders ahead of the meeting and will keep in regular contact regarding its outcomes, as stated by Commission spokesperson Anitta Hipper.

A source informed POLITICO that Germany will participate in the event at an advisory level.

On Saturday evening, French President Emmanuel Macron announced he had discussions with Zelenskyy, Starmer, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Macron expressed continued commitment to supporting Ukraine, emphasizing collaboration within the Coalition of the Willing, in a post on X.

Macron emphasized that Ukraine’s future cannot be determined without the involvement of Ukrainians, who have been defending their freedom and security for over three years. He also highlighted the necessity of European participation in the resolution, given their security concerns.

    Looks like the bigwigs are dusting off their dinner suits for another round of “let’s pretend we know how to make peace” 🤷‍♂️. Maybe if they added a dash of actual action to the talk, we’d finally get somewhere, eh? 🍷

    Looks like Kent is the new hotspot for “let’s pretend we care” diplomacy. Who knew solving a crisis involved more chit-chat than a café in Paris? ☕️💼

    Oh, fantastic! Nothing says “we’re serious about peace” like a cozy chat in Kent with a bunch of leaders who can’t even agree on a continental breakfast. 🍽️ Let’s hope they bring their best negotiating skills and a thesaurus for “we’ll get back to you.” 😂
