PARIS, France
The leaders of Britain, France, Germany and Poland are on their way to the Ukrainian capital, according to a joint statement released late on Friday night.
French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will make an unprecedented joint visit to Kyiv on Saturday for talks with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and to urge Russia to agree a ceasefire.
Ahead of the visit, the four leaders called on Russia to "agree a full and unconditional 30-day ceasefire" and warned that "we will ratchet up pressure on Russia's war machine" until it does.
Earlier in the day, Zelenskyy announced in a video conference that the "coalition of the willing" would meet in Kyiv on Saturday.
The "coalition of the willing" is made up of around 30 countries and is led by France and Britain.
They are all working on plans to help Ukraine after a possible ceasefire.
