European leaders have revealed they will join Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky when he meets Donald Trump for peace talks at the White House tomorrow.
Sir Keir Starmer, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, German chancellor Friedrich Merz and France's Emmanuel Macron will travel to Washington.
Ms Von der Leyen said 'at the request of President Zelensky, I will join the meeting with President Trump and other European leaders in the White House tomorrow.'
Other European leaders confirming they will go tomorrow included Finnish president Alexander Stubb, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni and Nato secretary general Mark Rutte.
Mr Zelensky's Oval Office rendezvous will follow Western allies holding a 'coalition of the willing' video call at 2pm today, hosted by Sir Keir, Mr Macron and Mr Merz.
The show of unity by European leaders comes as Mr Trump appears poised to urge the Ukrainian leader to agree to a Russian land grab of his country's territory.
Russian president Vladimir Putin is said to have demanded full control of Donetsk and Luhansk - two occupied Ukrainian regions - as a condition for ending the war.
In exchange, he would give up other Ukrainian territories held by Russian troops, according to sources familiar with Mr Putin and Mr Trump's negotiations in Alaska on Friday.
Mr Trump is said to be inclined to support the plan, and will speak to Mr Zelensky about it when they meet in the Oval Office.

There goes the neighborhood.
How can the Z twerp invite people to the White House? Seems pushy.
Search the whole lot for their cocaine stash.
So what will Z wear?
My guess is a black shirt/tie/jacket combo.
If Europe’s Deep State wants war, it can pay for it.
Let’s see if its willing to put its money where its mouth is.
I’m betting it won’t.
“The show of unity by European leaders comes as Mr Trump appears poised to urge the Ukrainian leader to agree to a Russian land grab of his country’s territory.”
Chamberlain also wanted peace and unity. See how well that worked out. If the EU was going to do something, they would have already done it. They only had three years to come up with a solution and they are no closer to a solution than they were three years ago.
Once again, the EU is relying on The US to fight their battles for them.
Meanwhile, Russia isn’t beggaring Europe’s taxpayers, locking them up for hurty words, opening its borders to invaders, is it...
Note to Europeans who haven’t figured it out yet...
The call is coming from INSIDE the house.
While the EU sends more money to Putin than to Ukraine by buying Putin’s oil.
And fighting-age Ukrainian men are rioting at rap concerts in Warsaw.
Reminds me of gen z taking their parents to job interviews
With that many Eurotrash hangers-on showing up, looks like Trump should have started the new ballroom earlier.
No, Europe is relying on US taxpayers to keep their welfare states afloat.
Ukraine is just one front in the war on our republic.
Sit them all at a table. Then tell them they’re going to shut up. He’s then going to tell him their path to peace, non-negotiable or the US walks away from it all. Funding Ukraine, arming Ukraine, NATO…all of it. Then I wake up.
Will they be bringing all their cocaine with them?
LOL great minds.
If his intentions are truly peaceful, he will wear a suit.
In fact, I think all his companions cough cough...aka...European henchman....will tell him to "wear a gd suit".
I say they will NOT be invited to the Whitehouse for the one on one meeting.
The information in the summary is NOT correct.
I’d love to see them put into the press room to hear a talk from Karoline Leavitt while the 3-way is conducted in the oval.
Poor Trump. Its going to be like trying to herd cats. 😣
