Countries want to join Europe's 'coalition of the willing', says UK PM Starmer

LONDON, March 2 (Reuters) - A number of countries indicated they wanted to be part of Europe's planned "coalition of the willing" to help Ukraine, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Sunday, without naming those countries.

"On the coalition of the willing, yes, a number of countries indicated today that they want to be part of the plan that we are developing," Starmer told a news conference following a meeting of European leaders in London.

"I'll leave them to make their own statements about exactly how they want to make that contribution, but we've been able to move that forward," he said.
