Europe’s Ukraine Emergency Summit: A Turning Point or Too Little, Too Late?
An emergency European summit, convened by French President Macron, will address concerns about US-Russia peace talks on Ukraine that exclude European involvement. The summit, to be attended by UK Prime Minister Starmer, follows statements by a US envoy suggesting fewer parties in negotiations would be beneficial, echoing past failed attempts like the Minsk agreements. Prime Minister Starmer aims to unify US and European approaches, emphasizing the need for a stronger European role within NATO. This follows President Zelensky’s call for a European army and concerns that the US may be withdrawing its support.
