Trump's special envoy to arrive in Paris for “Coalition of the Willing” meeting

On September 4, U.S. President’s special envoy Steve Witkoff will arrive in Paris for a meeting of the “Coalition of the Willing,” co-chaired by France and the United Kingdom.

It is currently unclear whether Witkoff will participate in the meeting itself, Caliber.Az reports via CNN.

The gathering, which will take place in both in-person and virtual formats, will bring together leaders primarily from Europe, as well as from Türkiye, Australia, and Canada.

The “Coalition of the Willing,” led by France and the UK, comprises approximately 30 nations committed to supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression through military, economic, and diplomatic means. The coalition emerged in 2024 to coordinate security guarantees for Kyiv, particularly in light of fading hopes for a swift resolution to the conflict, now in its fourth year since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.

French President Emmanuel Macron has emphasised that the coalition is prepared to provide Ukraine with security assurances as soon as a ceasefire is achieved, with discussions ongoing about deploying a multinational “reassurance force” to deter future Russian aggression.
