Sir Keir Starmer is set to travel to Washington for talks on the war in Ukraine on Monday.
The Prime Minister Keir Starmer will join President Zelenskyy, and European leaders, for a meeting with President Trump at the White House.
It follows the Prime Minister commending President Trump’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
In a statement, Downing Street said that this visit will “reassert his position that the path to peace cannot be decided without President Zelensky, and co-chairing a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing this afternoon to discuss the progress to provide Ukraine with robust security guarantees in the event of any deal.”

It added: “At the meeting that will take place at the White House tomorrow, the Prime Minister, with other European partners, stands ready to support this next phase of further talks and will reaffirm that his backing for Ukraine will continue as long as it takes.”
A peace deal in Ukraine failed to be agreed upon following three hours of talks between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on Friday.
Despite the lack of a deal in place, the US President said that the meeting was “extremely productive” and the pair had “made headway”.
President Trump, Keir Starmer, President Zelensky and the Coalition of the Willing all released statements following the summit.

PAMr Putin warned European leaders and Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, not to interfere in the “emerging progress”.
He said: “We expect that Kyiv and European capitals will perceive all this in a constructive manner and will not create any obstacles, will not make attempts to disrupt the emerging progress through provocations and behind-the-scenes intrigues”.
Despite the stark warning, the Ukrainian President announced on Saturday that the US President invited him to meet in Washington on Monday.
Other European leaders, including Germany’s Friedrich Merz, France’s Emmanuel Macron and the European Commission’s Ursula von der Leyen, have also announced they will be attending.
