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.
