On Sunday, March 23, Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof had a conversation with his British counterpart, Keir Starmer. The discussion focused on further support for Ukraine.

This was reported in a message from Schoof on social media X.

"Just spoke with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer about Ukraine. We discussed the importance of unwavering support and the commitment expressed by the coalition of the willing with respect to robust security guarantees – a key condition for lasting peace in Ukraine" Schoof noted.

He also emphasized that last week's meeting of military planners was an important step.

"Another is the upcoming meeting in Paris on Thursday at the invitation of President Macron. I thanked Prime Minister Starmer for the leading role he has played in recent weeks. We are working not only for the security of Ukraine but also for that of Europe, and therefore the Netherlands too," Schoof added.

• On March 21, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed a meeting with European leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to be held in Paris on March 27. Zelenskyy stated that at the "coalition of the willing" summit next Thursday, leaders will discuss a security guarantee strategy for Ukraine after the war, as well as the issue of contingents.
