Heads of state and top officials from more than 30 countries - part of the so-called Coalition of the Willing - are meeting in Paris, including US mediators in peace talks Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law.

Zelensky met Trump recently and said his plan to end the war with Russia was 90% agreed.

However, the proposals have yet to be presented to Russia, whose response so far has been far from encouraging.

The outstanding 10% of the agreement that's yet to be decided concerns territorial concessions Kyiv is being asked to agree to.
