The Lancaster House would have been bathing by European leaders to gather on the chart for Ukraine.

But the magnificence of the gold leaf of the former royal townhouse in the center of London was closed at the top.

It came out in the form of a question -Is it worth it? Is this European gathering enough to change the diplomatic dial? Or did the United States captivated to go alone to find a truce in Ukraine?

The prime minister’s answer was very large because Europe still played a role. He said British, France and others would work with Ukraine. Plan to stop fighting and discuss the plan with the United States.

He said that Europe will continue to flow in military aid, and in the case of peace agreements, Ukraine will enhance the defensive capacity of Ukraine, and to build up the “military and border defense” of the state so that Ukraine can lead to ammunition, finance and equipment.

And Keir said that there would be a “union of will” to defend Ukraine and ensure peace.

It is not yet clear who or what to include. The prime minister said, “There will be a power of Europe and other partners.

The United Kingdom and France have already been willing to put boots on the land of Ukraine to stop Russia’s invasion.

Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission, said Ukraine was aimed at replacing “Steel Hedgehog for potential invaders.”

The goal is to strengthen the European proposal for Ukraine’s post -war security guarantee to persuade Donald Trump to promise to promise US military backstops.

The president has been reluctant to follow the path so far, and suggested that the existence of Ukraine’s US mining company will be enough to maintain peace.

Keir does not share this view, saying, “To support and succeed in our continental peace, this effort must be strongly supported by us.”

This summit was an attempt to take the ownership of diplomacy in Europe in many ways. In recent weeks, Trump has led a speech with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s VolodyMyr Zelensky.

Europeans also wanted to find a way to repair the Atlantic Crossing Alliance. It looks quite weak after the confrontation between Trump and Jellen Ski at the elliptical office on Friday.

In recent weeks, the US administration has chased the European allies. Questioning their democracy, and in the United Nations, votes on them and Elon Musk, the chief executor of the president, said that even the United States had to leave the NATO military alliance.

London’s summit was a prime minister’s attempt to calm diplomats and strengthen diplomatic Sinews. Diplomats were based on Trump’s desire to find a ceasefire, but there was a clear determination around the table to support Ukraine.

But Europe’s staffing is only half of the story and depends on whether the United States is willing to play.

Diplomats say the United States tries to get rid of Zelen Ski, but there is a mixed message on Sunday. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is ready to interact with Ukraine, but the national security adviser, Mike Waltz, suggested that Zelensky should resign as part of the armistice.

So the result of Lancaster House Summit was a European front that sponsored Zelen Ski and promised more military support for Ukraine.

But the clouds hiding in the sky of London remain the next thing the United States does. And it is not clear yet. Trump and his deputy chief created a displacement against Zelen ski as much as trust in Putin.
