British Prime Minister Kerry Star Star on Sunday announced that European leaders had signed an agreement to present the Ukrainian peace proposal to the United States. The move is considered important to achieve Washington’s commitment to provide security guarantees that Kiev’s argument is essential to preventing Russia.
Following the announcement, after a high -level summit in London, Woldmeer Zilnski’s US President Donald Trump had a strained exchange and reduced his visit to Washington. European leaders gathered to confirm their support for Ukraine and promised to expand their efforts to help the war -affected nation.
Recognizing the need to show Europe’s own defense capability, leaders also acknowledged the need to increase defense spending. Many European countries already face budget barriers, European Commission President Ursola Van Der Leene proposed to reduce block loan rules to allow more military investment.
Welcoming Zilnski warmly, the star revealed that the UK, France, Ukraine and other unknown countries would form a “consent” coalition “to develop a peace plan for Trump’s consideration. The star said, “We are at a historic confluence.” This is not a time of debate. The time has come for a new vision to work, guide, and to make a new vision for justice and lasting peace. “
Following Trump’s hot argument with Zelaninski at the Oval Office, the possibility of withdrawing his support for Ukraine for Ukraine and instead of imposing a peace deal to negotiate with Russia has increased. In response, European leaders have entered into future debates to prevent Kiev from ignoring.
To strengthen his position, several European leaders emphasized the need for more defense spending. “After years of decline, it is now very important to increase defense spending for a long period of long -term,” Van Der Leean told reporters. “Europe must become an inaccessible force – such as steel porkpine – it is not available to potential aggression.”
Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk echoed the sentiment, saying that European countries should take more responsibility for their security and contribute more and more in NATO. However, he emphasized that strong relations with the United States must be given priority.
Decrease in military resources
Despite the intent to emphasize Europe’s defense capabilities, its military resources are far weaker than the United States. As a result, debates with Washington have focused on seeking US support in the form of a potential “back -stop” for a step in intelligence, monitoring, and European peace. However, it is likely that Trump’s approval depends on European countries that show serious commitment to increase defense spending.
The star had already promised additional defense spending before Washington’s recent visit. Meanwhile, NATO Secretary -General Mark Rod confirmed that some European leaders have quietly offered new military investment plans, though it has refused to disclose details.
‘Anxious’ confrontation
Trump’s return to the White House in January has significantly changed US policy on the war, which has created uncertainty on Washington’s military and diplomatic cooperation for Ukraine and Europe. Russian President Vladimir Putin has his access to his access to Ukraine and the removal of Ukraine from key talks has raised concerns about the future of Kiev’s western backing.
The tension between Trump and Zilnski ended in a public confrontation at the Oval Office, where the former US president defeated the Ukrainian leader for not thanked US military aid. The exchange -watching star described it as a “uncomfortable looking”, but he was determined to work as a bridge between Europe and Washington.
In a solidarity show, Zelinsky later traveled to meet King Charles III at his private residence in East England.
Meanwhile, US National Security Advisor Mike Walts suggested in a CNN interview that Washington could seek a Ukrainian leader seeking to negotiate with Russia for lasting peace.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov welcomed Trump’s point of view, accusing European countries of supporting Zilnski, accusing them of extending the war. “[They] Lavrov claimed that “the peace forces are trying to support it with their bunnites.
Despite uncertainty, the star insisted that Sunday’s summit reinforced Europe’s commitment to keep Ukraine at the negotiating table. “Europe will have to take the lead, but this effort will have to gain strong support for US support for lasting peace on our continent,” he said at a press conference.
