Western leaders gathered in Ukraine to mark the third anniversary of the country’s war with Russia, showing support for Kyiv amid uncertainties about US President Trump’s commitment to helping Ukraine. As the conflict enters its fourth year, Trump is pushing for a peace deal, causing concerns among European and Ukrainian officials due to his friendly approach to Putin and harsh words for Zelenskyy. The outcome of the war could have implications for world security, with some saying that Russian success in Ukraine could embolden China’s ambitions.
Despite Trump’s shifting stance, European leaders and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrived in Kyiv to pledge support and discuss the importance of involving Ukraine and its European partners in peace negotiations. The EU announced new sanctions against Russia and leaders like Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez promised military aid to Ukraine. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron planned to visit Washington to address the situation.
Meanwhile, Russia escalated the conflict with a record drone attack, prompting calls for diplomacy and inclusion of Ukraine and Europe in any peace negotiations. The international community is closely watching the developments, as the war in Ukraine continues to be a focal point of global security and diplomacy.
