Sanchez was going to meet Zelensky and other leaders in Paris, but he couldn't leave because of a breakdown in the plane
Sanchez will connect by videoconference to the meeting of the leaders of the "volunteer coalition" to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire agreement with Russia.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez was unable to travel to Paris to meet Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski and other European leaders, Moncloa sources have confirmed.
Finally , Sanchez will be connected by videoconference to the meeting of the leaders of the "volunteer coalition" to discuss the security guarantees to be offered to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire agreement with Russia, the sources have specified.
Among others, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte will participate. On the other hand, it was planned to connect other European leaders via videoconference, as Sanchez will eventually do.
After the meeting, a telephone conversation with Donald Trump has been scheduled, and the 35 members of that group of allies in Kiev hope to determine what kind of protection they can give to security guarantees. He said he would participate in the meeting with European leaders on August 18 in Washington.
