Europe and Ukraine Unite in Support Amidst U.S. and Russia Summit Uncertainties

European leaders expressed strong support for Ukraine and emphasized that peace cannot be achieved without Kyiv, amid upcoming talks between Trump and Putin that currently exclude Ukraine's leader. The leaders reaffirmed Ukraine's right to choose its own destiny and rejected territorial concessions, while Zelenskyy insisted Ukraine will not cede land. The meeting between Trump and Putin, the first since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, could be pivotal, but prospects for peace remain uncertain.
