    Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and other European leaders arrived at Paris' Elysee presidential palace on Thursday (March 27) to discuss how to strengthen military support, review ceasefire efforts and assess what role they could play if a peace deal is struck with Russia.
    The third summit of what France has called the coalition of the "willing and able" brings together the likes of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz.
    Macron committed to a further 2 billion euros in French military support to Ukraine. Zelenskiy said other partners could announce aid packages on Thursday.
    The format aims to forge a role for Europe in any talks on ending the conflict. While the United States is not present, French officials say the summit's outcomes will be shared with the U.S. administration.
    The discussions will focus on how to strengthen Ukraine militarily to deter future attacks, and how to monitor limited ceasefires over sea targets and energy infrastructure, as discussed at U.S.-led talks this week in Saudi Arabia.
