Leaders from across Europe are gathering in Britain for a crucial summit to discuss how to bring an end to Russia’s devastating war against Ukraine. The meeting comes at a time of heightened tensions, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy demands security guarantees to protect his country from further aggression.
Prior to the summit, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed President Zelenskyy to Downing Street, where he announced a substantial pledge of nearly three billion dollars to purchase military equipment for Ukraine. This significant show of support underscores the commitment of Western allies to stand by Ukraine in its struggle against Russian aggression.
The summit also comes in the wake of uncertainty surrounding US support, with former President Donald Trump hinting at a possible reduction in aid to Ukraine. In response, European leaders are reaffirming their solidarity with Ukraine as they navigate a new era in transatlantic relations.
As the summit unfolds, experts such as Maria Martisiute, Policy Analyst at the European Policy Centre, Mikhail Alexseeev, Professor of political science at San Diego State University, and Sergei Satanovskii, DW Correspondent, provide valuable insights into the complex geopolitical dynamics at play.
The discussions at the summit hold the potential to shape the future of Ukraine and its relationships with key global players. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
