Paris Summit of 25+ Leaders Aims to Press Ukraine Ceasefire and Military Support

More than 25 heads of state and government met in Paris on July 13 alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to push for a Ukraine ceasefire and expand military aid to Kyiv through the Coalition of the Willing—an informal grouping that bypasses traditional NATO and EU channels. The coalition format allows coordinating security guarantees and weapons outside formal institutional frameworks, signaling allied unity while excluding members opposed to further Moscow confrontation.
