Britain, Europe Talks on Ukraine Conflict End Without Progress


(MENAFN) Foreign ministers and officials from Britain and Europe gathered in London on Monday but left without significant advancements on Ukraine.

A statement from the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed that the ministers reiterated their commitment to providing Ukraine with security assurances, which include forming a coalition of air, land, and maritime forces to bolster the country's defense.

Ministers from France, Spain, Germany, Italy, and the European Commission underscored that a ceasefire is still a crucial step for any further diplomatic negotiations.

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who hosted the talks, chose not to comment on the timing of a possible ceasefire.

The meeting is seen as a preparatory step ahead of the UK-EU Summit, which is set for next Monday in London.
