Leaders of more 40 European nations unite in Prague to discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, among other political issues.
UK Prime Minister Liz Truss was also in attendance, in what is an historic meeting.
French President Emmanuel Macrons is a key driver behind this event and says the nations need to build a “common strategy” on the war.
Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelensky spoke via video link, with Germany’s Olaf Scholz commending the gathering.
The summit is called the ‘European Political Community beyond the EU’ and Macron says it sends a “message of unity” to the world.
Following the meeting, Liz Truss made it clear the summit is “not about moving closer to Europe” but “about working with Europe” on issues that both Britain and the UK face.
