European leaders meet in London to discuss Ukraine security guarantees

The prime minister hosted talks in Downing Street on Sunday with two other European heads of state. The meeting addressed defense needs, air-defense cooperation, and a shared view of diplomatic prospects. The three countries form the E3 group and lead a coalition of the willing that aims to provide security guarantees for Ukraine in any future peace process.

The leaders also discussed Europe's role in negotiations.

Recent strikes reported Officials said a drone struck a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel near the Chornobyl nuclear plant. No injuries occurred, a fire was extinguished, and radiation levels remained stable. Authorities reported at least three people killed in a separate strike on a village outside Zaporizhzhia.

The same region saw two deaths on Saturday. The nuclear operator stated the strike partially destroyed a spent-fuel storage building. It described the facility as critical infrastructure and said radiation stayed at normal levels.

Earlier developments Ukraine conducted drone strikes on St Petersburg and surrounding areas on Saturday during a major economic forum. Russian authorities called the attack unprecedented. The Russian president rejected a proposal for direct talks, saying there was no point in meeting and that a truce would only let Ukraine regroup.

He added that the war would end only when Russia's goals were met.
