Over in Paris, European leaders are preparing to hold talks on the war in Ukraine. 

French President Emmanuel Macron has rallied the likes of Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at a hastily arranged Paris summit to discuss Ukraine’s next steps.

The French president will look to recapture Ukraine’s future at the informal meeting, which has been swiftly put together following announcements from the US.

It will take place as the US sends senior officials to Saudi Arabia for peace talks with Russia – which representatives from Europe have not been invited to.

Also expected to be at Macron’s meeting are Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and NATO chief Mark Rutte are also expected at the Paris summit.
