European leaders have gathered in France for an emergency summit on Ukraine following the Trump administration's announcement of talks with Russia to end the war without European involvement. The meeting in Paris, described by UK leader Kier Starmer as a 'once in a generation' moment for national security, has raised concerns in Kyiv and across Europe about being excluded from peace negotiations.
US President Donald Trump's recent actions have disrupted the previously united front between Washington and its European NATO allies in supporting Ukraine against Russia's invasion, which is approaching its third anniversary. Trump's approach towards Russian President Vladimir Putin and statements from US officials have caused anxiety in Europe over potential concessions to Russia.
