Following his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, in which he failed to get a commitment to receive Tomahawk missiles from the United States, Ukraine’s acting president Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with a number of European leaders, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Kyiv Independent reported. According to a statement from the U.K.’s 10 Downing Street, they gave “their unwavering commitment to Ukraine in the face of ongoing Russian aggression. A just and lasting peace for Ukraine was the only way to stop the killing for good, they agreed.” A spokesman added: “Further discussions about how they could support Ukraine in the lead up to, and following, a ceasefire would continue this week, including in a Coalition of the Willing call on Friday, the leaders agreed.”
