European Leaders to Talk With Zelenskiy on US-Russian Plan

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz canceled his agenda Friday in order to hold an urgent call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and other European leaders about a US-Russian plan to end the war in Ukraine that would mean sweeping concessions to Vladimir Putin.

France’s Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer of the UK will also join the call at noon European time, two government officials said.
