Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joined world leaders in a virtual meeting overnight to discuss Ukraine’s negotiations aimed at ending Russia’s invasion.
Posting on X, Albanese confirmed he took part in the call with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, as part of the “Coalition of the Willing”—a group of nations committed to supporting Ukraine.
“Overnight, I joined a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing convened by @Keir_Starmer and @EmmanuelMacron, alongside President @Zelenskyy_Ua and other democratic leaders,” Albanese wrote.
“Australia remains committed to supporting Ukraine and it was an opportunity to discuss next steps in achieving a just and enduring peace,” he added.
The talks followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, which, despite expectations, wasn’t able to deliver on an immediate deal.
