US Vice-President JD Vance and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy are hosting a meeting of senior security officials near London to discuss the war in Ukraine.
Earlier on Saturday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer had a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and said they agreed it would be a "vital forum" to discuss progress towards peace.
Zelensky has stressed he will make no territorial concessions to Russia ahead of a summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin next week to discuss the future of the war.
Trump earlier signalled Ukraine may have to cede territory to end the war, which began with Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Saturday's meeting is understood to be taking place at Chevening, Lammy's official country residence in Kent, where Vance and his family are currently staying, and to have been called at the request of the US.
Senior security officials from the US, Ukraine and Europe will take part.
Trump and Putin are set to meet in Alaska on 15 August to discuss the future of the war in Ukraine.
Speaking on a potential deal to end the war, Trump said on Friday that there "will be some swapping of territories, to the betterment of both".
"You're looking at territory that's been fought over for three and a half years, a lot of Russians have died. A lot of Ukrainians have died," the US president said.
Russia has consistently insisted on Ukraine recognising Russian sovereignty over several Ukrainian regions, agreeing to demilitarisation and abandoning its Nato aspirations.
Trump's position has also consistently involved Ukraine sacrificing land for peace.
While Zelensky has been careful not to criticise Trump, his post on social media makes clear that he will not accept it.

The Ukrainian Parliament end Martial Law without objection from Zelensky?
Marcus, there’s a FREEPATHON ongoing right now. Just sayin’.
Oh, Lammy. Misread the title.
I thought Lemmy died.
How long will the USA support the Ukraine in the war?
Indefinitely?
Meeting is at US’s request. I wonder who all the “senior advisors” are. Vance is already at Lammy’s home, so is certainly talking to him in the meantime.
Hope. Always I keep hoping.
What is this meeting for?
Planning a wake for Ukraine?
Tell the Ukes Z is out, schedule the elections.
Another 20 minutes is too much.
We were told already that: "Cease fire by Easter. Peace deal after Ukrainian elections in the fall."Of course, we were also informed this was "over" last March.

“Zelensky has stressed he will make no territorial concessions to Russia ahead of a summit”
Let’s parse this. So he will make them AFTER the summit.
“Marcus, there’s a FREEPATHON ongoing right now. Just sayin’.
“
Forget it man. Bots don’t pay.
