Following a tense meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, Western leaders are showing support for Ukraine amidst deepening divisions with the United States. The Oval Office exchange underscored the delicate balance Western capitals must strike in supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression while navigating a complex relationship with a transactional US president.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who recently met with Trump, reaffirmed his support for Ukraine and is actively working towards a lasting peace based on sovereignty and security for Kyiv. The UK is set to host a summit of European leaders to discuss further support for Ukraine, with Zelensky expected to attend.
