European leaders jumped into a new era of less cooperative in the United States, a greater threat in Russia, and an uncertain prospect of Ukraine. On Thursdays they are trying to find out what to do about it.
They are walking on a fine line. They need to know how to support Ukraine and strengthen their defense by avoiding the alienation of terrible allies in Washington.
“This is the moment of the basin of the European basin, and Ukraine is part of the European family.” Ursula von der liyen, head of the European Union’s management, went to the meeting with the president of Ukraine.

Leaders are ready to discuss how to raise funds for European military spending, hoping to make the continent better to deal with Russia without much backup throughout the Atlantic Ocean. We will also consider how Ukraine’s peace plan will look and how to apply.

In less than two months, President Trump has changed the game in relation to Europe’s security. He is demanding rapid peace in Ukraine, and Gel Lenski has declared it for negotiations by publicly chasing him and reducing his help. He has a conversation with Russia without participating directly with Europe or Ukraine.
At the same time, he insisted that European countries assaulted members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which spent more expenses on their defense and paid too much to protect themselves. “Unfair” system.
The 1-2 punches and miserable meetings held at the White House between Trump and Gel Lenski last week forced European leaders to move with new urgency.

On Tuesday, after the collapse between the two leaders, Zelen Ski provided actions that he could finish the war to appease President Trump.

“Mr.. Trump, he is full of surprises -they are most surprised to us,” Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever told reporters on Thursdays.

The British and France expressed their willingness to send the army as a peacekeeper when they reached their transactions, but it is exactly how many countries can participate in the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the “Union of will.”

Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron said he would talk with European allies about the possibility of using French nuclear inhibitors to protect the continent due to Russian threats.
