EU Leaders Discuss Ending War in Ukraine: Moment of Truth
European leaders agree to work on a ceasefire plan to present to the United States, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Sunday. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer told leaders gathered Sunday for a summit on the war in Ukraine that they need to step up and continue to support Kyiv and meet a “once in a generation moment” for the security of Europe. The meeting has been overshadowed by the extraordinary scolding of Zelenskyy by U.S. President Donald Trump, who blasted him Friday at the White House as being ungrateful for U.S. support against the invasion by Russia.

- What will be the long-term consequences of Europe's increased assertiveness on its relationships with other nations, particularly those in Eastern Europe and beyond?
