Ukraine Peace Deal: EU and Allies Offer Security Guarantee, US Support Uncertain
A London summit, hosted by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, forged a “coalition of the willing” to provide Ukraine with security guarantees for a peace agreement, including continued military aid and bolstering Ukraine’s defenses. The summit, attended by leaders from over a dozen countries including Canada and Ukraine’s President Zelensky, aimed to present a united front in response to President Trump’s wavering support and pro-Kremlin stance. While Canada hasn’t committed troops to a peacekeeping mission, Prime Minister Trudeau affirmed Canada’s willingness to contribute militarily, and several European nations pledged increased defense spending. The summit concluded with plans for a more detailed proposal to be presented to President Trump.
