👉 The state of Russia’s three-year war against Ukraine remained deeply unsettled Sunday, with the U.S. saying it does not know whether peace is possible while European leaders met in London to voice their ongoing support for Kyiv’s forces.
The new developments came two days after Friday’s explosive Washington meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that devolved into an intense confrontation as the U.S. leader ordered his counterpart to leave the White House and a prospective U.S.-Ukraine rare earth minerals deal was left unsigned.
“We need a very radical reset,” Lord Peter Mandelson, the British ambassador to the United States, told ABC’s “This Week” show. No peace negotiations are scheduled.
Mandelson’s assessment came as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer convened a group of more than a dozen European leaders, alongside Zelenskyy, to pledge their continuing arms support for Ukraine’s fighters even as the U.S. wavers.
Starmer, as he sat next to Zelenskyy and in front of the flags of Ukraine and European nations, said it was “a once-in-a-generation moment for the security of Europe and we all need to step up.”
“I hope you know that we are all with you and the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes, everyone around this table,” Starmer told the Ukraine leader. “We need to agree what steps come out of this meeting to deliver peace through strength for the benefit of all.”
