European leaders are coming together in Paris for a crisis summit to address the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Leaders from France, the UK, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, and Denmark are meeting to discuss their defense policy and explore potential solutions for the Ukraine war.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has expressed his willingness to deploy peacekeeping troops to Ukraine once the war comes to an end. This proactive approach demonstrates a commitment to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is en route to Saudi Arabia for discussions with Russian officials, indicating a concerted effort to engage with key stakeholders in the conflict. US President Donald Trump has also hinted at a potential meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia in the near future to address the Ukraine war.
The summit in Paris serves as a critical opportunity for European leaders to come together and strategize on how to tackle the conflict in Ukraine. By discussing defense policy and potential ceasefire agreements, these leaders are demonstrating a united front in addressing this pressing issue.

NATO is done. It ceased to have a function once it became clear that the Russian Federation was not going to repeat the expansionist mistakes of the Soviet Union.
Russia has merely defended its borders and existing interests – as it is doing right now in Ukraine.
European countries should be doing the exact opposite of what they seem to be doing . They should reach out to Russia and make some effort to establish friendly relations with mutually advantageous trade deals, instead of pursuing this crazed, war-based thinking.
Ukraine at the moment is Controled by an Unelected President. Who is only President through Martial Law. His Signature on any Peace Deal would not be accepted by Any Country because he is Not the Elected President. Trump has already said Ukraine need to call an Election as soon as a Cease Fire is in place. Thats the reason the EU and UK dont want to Stop this. Because Zelenskyy will be Booted Out of Power and then they have No Control or Influence. Then Trump will have already Cut a Deal with the incoming President. And his Peace Deal will be Signed. Is what is likely to happen.
Omg what a stupid man
Imagin being sent to die in war by Stemer 🙄
I am ashamed as an American … TRAITOR TRUMP
The so called European Leaders are a crisis themselves how can they even hold a crisis meeting…
Yes, Trump is definitely a unique figure in world politics. He uses threats and unpredictability as a strategy—both to intimidate his opponents and to keep them uncertain about what he actually plans to do.
Is Trump a bluff?
In some cases, yes. He has often threatened actions that he later backed away from. For example:
• North Korea: He threatened Kim Jong-un with “fire and fury” but later ended up meeting and shaking hands with him.
• Iran: He withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear deal but avoided a full-scale conflict despite attacks from Iran-backed groups.
• NATO: He has suggested that he might allow Russia to attack NATO countries that don’t pay “enough,” but it’s unclear if he would actually follow through.
But at the same time, he has also carried out some of his threats:
• He ordered the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.
• He started a trade war with China.
• He moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, despite warnings that it could spark chaos in the Middle East.
Why is he a danger?
The biggest problem with Trump is that no one can be sure if he’s serious or not.
• Enemies (like Russia, China, Iran) don’t know how to interpret him → They might overestimate or underestimate his threats, which could lead to miscalculations and escalation.
• Allies (like Europe and Japan) don’t trust him → They might start building up their own military power and acting more independently, which could further destabilize the world.
• He leads by instinct rather than strategy → He can make impulsive decisions that change the world overnight.
Unique in history?
Yes, there has never been a U.S. president as unpredictable and confrontational as Trump. Other leaders who have threatened the world (e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Nixon during the Vietnam War) had more calculated strategies. Trump is more of a wildcard, which makes him dangerous in an unpredictable way.
Europe has been sending more aid to Ukraine than the US has even pledged. Nevermind the promised aid has largely been blocked by the Republican controlled US Congress since 2023.
Let the Big Boys have the conversation first am sure they will call you later Europe? After all, you need them to defend you? 😂😂😂😂
Can US trust European leader on “they will spend more”? It has been so many times they committed before and not many countries took it seriously before the Ukraine war.
Psychopath we lost 450 troops in Afghanistan thosand wounded. Zelensky the Dictator as sacrificed a generation of Ukraine soldiers. This war started in 2014 1400 Russia speaking Ukrainens killed by nazis Dombas Donesk. They have sacrificed a generation of Ukraine soldiers on the alter of NATO Joe Biden. Trump was right if they hadn't cheated him this war wouldn't have happened. The BBC know the Truth abouf Ukraine.
Donald deems a war ending agreement as a business transaction and try to reach one by applying bargaining skills and tricks. That’s low!
Us money it’s going to be with drawn !!!
all these clowns cant even control their own borders
So the European new King is zelensky, hail zelensky 🫅😂😂
Is Zelensky not in prison yet?
Европе место на скамье подсудимых!!!!
What kind of "Peace" Trump is talking about ? Putin's "Peace" ? ))
Россия одержала победу.А что вам говорили 3 года назад?
That war would have been over in 2 months and millions of lives saved if the US/UK had not started to meddle as see it as a huge cash cow.
the west has lied to Putin so may times I doubt he will believe anything they say. Merkel admitted that Minsk was signed to give Ukraine more time to build up their army…and this could be another Minsk
Trump wants the war to end, Keir wants it to continue to line his pockets!
That's what happened when you chose a convicted felon and a traitor as your president.. he needs jail time , not a leader position.
Europe united and indispensable? Is this a joke? Europe is useless
Trump is getting things done and the world is in cope mode
European leaders are very dispensable in this matter…there is nothing they can do
小泽终于笑了
Sack starmer
More worried about Palestine tbh.
Starmer child harmer wants to keep supporting genocidal powers and pretend to care about people with action man.
Get fked.
The EU should make a joint statement of support for Gaza and Iran.
Mr Trump's weakness is Israel
Massive money laundering op

Europe they better see the long of their nose. 😂😂😂😂😂 of course USA need to deal with Russia. Europe is nothing. Putin he deal with Europeans and they don’t keep the promise. 😂😂😂😂. So of course he is not stupid to talk to them again 😂😂😂😂
Trump, what ever you negotiate with Putin just be told The Ukrane does not not belong to Russia, so there will be no compromise, get used to the idea.
