UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy and US Vice President JD Vance will host a meeting of national security advisers from Europe and the US on August 9 to discuss Russia's war in Ukraine. The meeting follows a phone call between UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during which they welcomed President Trump's desire to end the war and agreed to keep pressure on Putin. Trump will also meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska next Friday as part of efforts to bring an end to the conflict that began in February 2022.
