Macron, Starmer to co-chair talks on boosting Ukraine’s defences

# President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will during the French leader’s visit next week to the UK, co-chair talks with other European leaders on boosting Ukraine’s defences. The meeting on 10 July will come as US-led peace talks on ending the more than three-year-old war against Ukraine have stalled. The United States, Ukraine’s biggest military backer since the launch of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, said Tuesday it was halting some key weapons shipments to Ukraine.
