I think they're going to be talking about a few things.

Most importantly, these talks that are going on because the Europeans have been sidelined to some extent over recent weeks by the Americans and by the Russians.

And they're keen to reinsert themselves into that conversation, although quite how they do that is difficult to see.

More than that, though, they're going to be.

trying to demonstrate to all audiences, whether they're in Moscow or Washington or Kiev, that they still back President Zelensky.

I mean, President Zelensky has had a very, very difficult few weeks, not just on the battlefield, not just in terms of missile strikes, but also in terms of these corruption allegations, really, that have gone to the heart of his administration.

And I think this is going to be a much-needed boost, an arm around his shoulder, which is a strategy we've seen the Europeans use many times in the past, and I think they'll be doing that again this Monday.
