Zelensky and some of his European allies have called for European troops to be sent to Ukraine as a deterrent to further military action by Russia after the ceasefire.

“This will not be a meeting where specific decisions will be made, but rather a political discussion of the coming weeks and months,” said a source familiar with the meeting.

The meeting, hosted by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, will take place on the same day that EU and Western Balkan leaders were due to meet at a summit in Brussels, and will include a joint meeting and several bilateral meetings with Zelensky.

Ukraine’s Zelenskiy to meet European leaders in Brussels on Wednesday

BRUSSELS, Dec 13 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will attend a meeting with the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, NATO and the EU in Brussels on Wednesday to discuss support for his country in its war with Russia, sources familiar with the plan told Reuters.

The meeting comes as European countries face the possibility of the U.S., Ukraine’s largest source of support, changing its approach to the conflict when Donald Trump returns to the White House in January.

Zelenskiy and some of his European allies have called for European troops to be deployed to Ukraine to act as a deterrent to further military action by Russia after any ceasefire.

“It won’t be a meeting that has concrete decisions, but more political to discuss the coming weeks and months,” said a source familiar with the meeting.

The gathering, hosted by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, will be held on the day leaders were already due to meet for the EU-Western Balkans summit in Brussels, and involve a joint meeting and several bilateral meetings with Zelenskiy.
