Earlier in the day, political analyst Fyodor Lukyanov noted that Zelensky avoids commenting on the US plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine before meeting with European allies. According to Lukyanov, Zelensky's meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in London is taking place at a difficult moment for Ukraine and Europe. In the meantime, the United States allegedly does not plan to take into account the opinion of the leaders of the European Union (EU) on conflict resolution.

On December 6, The Independent newspaper reported that Starmer would host Zelensky, Macron and Merz in London. During the meeting, it was planned to discuss the negotiations held in Miami between representatives of the United States and Ukraine regarding the settlement of the conflict and further coordination of actions against the background of growing US pressure.
