Was the starrer summit enough to run Trump?

Lancaster House may have been bathed in the sun as European leaders gathered to move forward for Ukraine.

But a cloud was hung on the summit amidst the gilt-dominated grandeur of the former Royal Townhouse in Central London.

It came as a question – was it all worth it? Was this aggregation of European powers enough to move diplomatic dial? Or did the United States make up his mind to go alone to find a ceasefire in Ukraine?

The Prime Minister’s answer was very much that there was still a role in Europe. He said that UK, France and other Ukraine will work with Ukraine Plan to stop fighting and then discuss that plan with America,

He said that military assistance in Europe will now flow and, in the event of a peace deal, it would promote Ukraine’s own defensive abilities, create the country’s “armed forces and border defense” to ensure that “Ukraine, can draw on mutations, finance and equipment to protect themselves to protect themselves, attracting the mute,” according to the official conclusion of the summit.

And Sir Kir said that there would be a “coalition of interested” to protect Ukraine and guarantee peace.

Who or what will be included is not yet clear. The Prime Minister only said that “would be a force with European and other partners”.

Britain and France have already stated that they will be ready to put shoes on the ground in Ukraine to help prevent Russian aggression.

Ursula von Der Leyen, head of the European Commission, said that it was aimed at converting Ukraine into steel porpine which is indispensable to potential invaders “.

The objective, it appears, to beeves the European proposal for post -war security guarantee for Ukraine in an attempt to convince Donald Trump to promise the US military backstop.

Thus the President has so far been reluctant to go down from that route, suggesting the presence of American mining firms on the ground in Ukraine to maintain peace.

Sir Keer does not share this approach, clearly “to support peace on our continent and succeed, we must be strong in this effort”.

This summit was an attempt to take some ownership of diplomacy by Europe in many ways. In recent weeks, attempts to end the fight in Ukraine have been led by Trump speaking to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodimier Zelanski.

Europeans also wanted to find ways of repairing the transatlantic alliance, which looks very delicate after a confrontation between Trump and Zelanski at the Oval office on Friday.

In recent weeks, the US administration has gone after its European colleagues; Questioning his democracy, voting against him in the United Nations and – as the chief promoter of the President, Alone Musk – even America should leave the NATO military alliance.

The summit in London was an attempt by the Prime Minister to pacify both diplomatic barking and harsh diplomatic century. The diplomats stated that there was a clear resolution around the table to support Ukraine, but to find a ceasefire at Trump’s will also to find a ceasefire.

But step into Europe is only half of the story and a lot depends on whether America is ready to play its role.

Diplomats say that the US is ready to increase tension with Zelansky, but Sundays were mixed messages. US State Secretary Marco Rubio said the US was ready to join Ukraine, but National Security Advisor Mike Waltz suggested that Zelancesi may have to resign as part of any ceasefire.

So the result of the Lancaster House Summit was a united European front in support of Zelansky, promising more military support for Ukraine.

But the cloud, which is in the sky of London, remains the one that the United States does further. And this is not yet clear. Trump and his deputy have made their opponent clear to Zelanceci as his faith in Putin.
