Will Europe and the US reach a common ground on Ukraine?

European leaders and other allies met in London on Sunday to discuss support for Ukraine.

After a disastrous trip to the United States, Ukraine’s President Volodymr Zelenskyy was warmly received in London at a special summit.

This was in contrast to the public dressing down he received from US President Donald Trump and his Vice President JD Vance in Washington on Friday.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer assembled what he called a “coalition of the willing”, who have promised to keep backing Kyiv and present the US with a peace plan.
