Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said a group of European leaders will travel to London on Sunday to discuss joint plans for defense and security.
Tusk said the European Commission is preparing a defense package, the details of which will be announced at a special summit of European Union leaders scheduled for March 6.
Ahead of this meeting, "we will be in London on Sunday, together with our British friends and a group of leaders, to talk about these joint defense plans," he added.
"I hope that this greater mobilization of Europe, both of member states and of Europe as a whole, when it comes to financing defense and security, will become a clear fact," Tusk said after a meeting with European Council President António Costa.
Costa earlier announced a video conference of European leaders on Wednesday morning ahead of the special summit that will be informed by French President Emmanuel Macron's visit on Monday to Washington, D.C., where he met with United States President Donald Trump to push for security guarantees for Ukraine.
A week ago, Trump questioned US involvement in the conflict and called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy an "unelected dictator."
"We are living a defining moment for Ukraine and European security," Costa said in a social media post announcing his decision to call the special summit.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will meet with Trump on Thursday. He announced on Tuesday that the United Kingdom will increase defense spending to 2.5 percent of gross domestic product by 2027.
