European leaders are actively engaging to strengthen their role in halting the Russia-Ukraine conflict, following improved U.S.-Ukrainian relations. France and the UK have worked to reinitiate talks between Washington and Kyiv, leading to a preliminary 30-day ceasefire agreement, despite skepticism over Russia's commitment. As European officials plan to support the Ukrainian military with a proposed international force, they emphasize the necessity of reinforcing stability in the region. French President Macron urges Europe to fully commit, while British PM Starmer organizes a summit to define the future role of this coalition.
"The signs of Europe focusing on this are very real," said Bronwen Maddox, director of the international think tank Chatham House. "It's been an impressive change."
"This is the moment when Europe must pull its full weight for Ukraine, and for itself," French President Emmanuel Macron told European and NATO military leaders in Paris on Tuesday.
Revived U.S.-Ukrainian talks this week yielded a preliminary agreement on a 30-day ceasefire.
Russian opposition to NATO deployment highlights a complex geopolitical landscape as leaders discuss ways to secure Ukraine's future.
