British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will chair a virtual meeting of the "Coalition of the Willing" on Tuesday to brief allies on Monday’s Washington talks on Ukraine.

According to British media reports, leaders will also discuss next steps toward securing a lasting peace in Ukraine.

Later in the day, the EU leaders are expected to convene a virtual European Council.

Speaking after the White House talks, Starmer said there had been "real progress" in efforts to bring an end to the war in Ukraine.
