Starmer and Macron are involved in preparing the meeting

The British Prime Minister's Office officially confirmed that on August 9, the leaders of Britain and France discussed in detail the latest events in Ukraine.

They once again stated their unwavering support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and "efforts aimed at ensuring a just and lasting peace for the Ukrainian people."

Also in the spotlight for Starmer and Macron are US leader Donald Trump's efforts in the peace process.

Starmer and Macron will remain in close contact to agree on further decisions within the framework of international efforts to resolve Russia's war against Ukraine.

It is worth noting that the French president publicly insists on the need for Ukraine and Europe to participate in a future peaceful resolution of the war.
