UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to engage with European leaders to bolster support for Ukraine amid ongoing tensions with Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the resumption of talks with the U.S. in Saudi Arabia next week, expressing hope for "meaningful" discussions. This development follows a recent Oval Office meeting where President Donald Trump accused Zelenskyy of "gambling with World War Three," leading to a temporary halt in U.S. military aid to Ukraine. In response, European Union leaders approved a defense spending plan potentially unlocking €650 billion to strengthen the continent's military capabilities. French President Emmanuel Macron proposed extending France's nuclear deterrent to protect Europe, a move Russia criticized as "extremely confrontational."
