European Leaders Divided Over Sending Troops to Ukraine as Peace Talks Loom
A Paris summit convenes to address Europe's role in Ukraine's security, while Trump and Putin push for bilateral peace negotiations excluding the EU.
- The UK has declared its readiness to send troops to Ukraine for peacekeeping if required, with Sweden considering a similar stance, while Germany and Norway deem such discussions premature.
- Poland and Hungary firmly oppose sending troops, with Poland continuing its non-combat support and Hungary advocating for a ceasefire and U.S.-Russia negotiations instead of military involvement.
- European leaders are meeting in Paris to strategize their collective response to Ukraine's security and NATO membership aspirations, amid fears of being sidelined by U.S.-Russia peace talks.
- Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are accelerating bilateral negotiations for a ceasefire, raising concerns in Europe about concessions that could undermine Ukraine's sovereignty and security.
- Ukrainian media and public opinion remain skeptical of the proposed peace talks, fearing compromises that favor Russia, even as many Ukrainians acknowledge the need for a negotiated settlement.
