Cevdet Yilmaz will attend session to be chaired by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer
Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz will attend on Tuesday a virtual meeting of the "coalition of the willing" group on behalf of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, sources said.
The meeting, to be chaired by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, will focus on the outcomes of Monday’s discussions at the White House on Ukraine, which brought together US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and European leaders.
The initiative is led by the UK and France, and envisages sending peacekeeping troops from a number of European and NATO countries in post-war Ukraine.
Trump on Monday said the leaders discussed security guarantees for Ukraine, and his administration began preparations for a meeting between presidents Vladimir Putin and Zelenskyy, and later a trilateral summit involving him.
The Washington meeting came after a Trump-Putin summit in the US state of Alaska aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.
