Summary

UK Labour leader Keir Starmer reaffirmed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Ukraine is on an “irreversible path” to NATO membership.

This stance contrasts with recent U.S. signals, where Donald Trump suggested potential concessions to Russia, including accepting Ukraine’s non-NATO status.

European leaders, including Emmanuel Macron, have criticized such concessions, insisting on Ukraine’s right to negotiate its future.

The UK also imposed new sanctions on Russian officials and entities.

    The real question is whether they’ll still want in after the US is done with whatever it is they’re doing to it.

        Would the US leave the NATO military bases in Europe? Because that would be huge and would reduce a lot the US military presence in Europe. And, with that, influence in Europe…

        Yeah, whatever Trump decides to do with the US membership, there’s nothing he can do about everyone else. He can pick his the US’ toys and leave, NATO will be weaker, but Europe will still want an alliance to defend themselves, even if Trump tries to pressure individual members.

        People claiming it’s dead are delusional.
