The annual gathering brought together American, Ukrainian and European top diplomatic delegations, with the transatlantic relation in focus. The three days of talks underscored two competing visions of the West, what it represents and its values.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on Europe to help save the West as a common civilisation, while chief European diplomat Kaja Kallas pushed back saying the EU does not need saving. Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Europeans to agree to a date so that Ukraine is "technically ready" to join the bloc in 2027.
