The London Summit\u00a0brought<\/a>\u00a0together the leaders of Ukraine, the UK, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Poland, Romania, Finland, France, the Czech Republic, and Sweden, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and European Council President Ant\u00f3nio Costa. Leaders discussed ongoing financial support for Ukraine’s defence industry, including investments in domestic arms production and increased funding for Europe’s defence sector. Sanctions against Russia, including frozen Russian assets, are to remain until a lasting peace is achieved. There was broad agreement that strong security guarantees must underpin any potential ceasefire, with consideration given to leveraging NATO mechanisms and strengthening Ukraine’s military. A ceasefire must begin with a prisoner exchange and the return of children, signalling Russia’s genuine commitment to peace. Leaders also emphasised the US role in ensuring sufficient support and transatlantic unity to end the war. A concrete plan, based on proposals from France and the UK, will continue to be developed, with European leaders set to present an enhanced defence strategy at an upcoming meeting.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
