LONDON, May 13 (Xinhua) — Foreign ministers and officials from Britain and the European Union met in London on Monday but failed to reach a major breakthrough on the situation in Ukraine.
The talks reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring Ukraine’s security, including the creation of a coalition of air, land and sea “assurance forces”, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said.
The foreign ministers of France, Spain, Germany, Italy and representatives of the European Commission stressed that the suspension of hostilities remains a prerequisite for further diplomatic progress.
However, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy refrained from commenting on the sequence of a possible ceasefire.
Monday’s meeting is seen as part of preparations for the upcoming UK-EU summit scheduled to take place in London next Monday. –0–
