European leaders back Ukraine as Trump reaches out to Russia
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said peace in Ukraine could not be "imposed." Greece's Kyriakos Mitsotakis insisted that there can be no deal to end the war without Ukraine's involvement.
Summary
European leaders reaffirmed support for Ukraine as concerns grow over Donald Trump's stance on the war.
Greek, Spanish, and UK leaders insisted peace talks must include Kyiv, rejecting Trump’s claim that Ukraine started the conflict.
Meanwhile, the U.S. proposed a UN resolution urging peace but avoided co-sponsoring Ukraine’s draft. Ukraine also hesitated to sign a U.S. minerals deal due to vague security guarantees.
In London, thousands protested against a Trump-imposed settlement. Hungary's Viktor Orban declared he could block Ukraine’s EU membership.
Orban saying Orban things barely even registers as news these days. Come on Orban, do at least a little Nazi salute.
