European leaders discuss unified approach to Ukraine war

European leaders will meet in London to discuss a unified approach to ending the war in Ukraine. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer aims to prepare Europe for potential peacekeeping roles if a deal is reached. The summit follows tensions between the US and Ukraine, highlighted by a recent clash between President Trump and President Zelensky. Starmer has pledged to increase UK defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027. Ahead of the meeting, the UK signed a £2.26 billion loan agreement with Ukraine for military support and rebuilding efforts. Zelensky is also scheduled to meet King Charles after the summit.
