European leaders gather in Paris to address US policy shift on Ukraine

European leaders are meeting in Paris on February 17 to discuss a recent shift in U.S. policy regarding Ukraine. This follows U.S. President Donald Trump's call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, suggesting negotiations to end the conflict. Britain has expressed readiness to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine. The meeting, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, includes leaders from several European countries and aims to address security concerns in light of the U.S. prioritizing other regions. Concerns are growing that Russia may push for limits on NATO forces in Eastern Europe. European officials emphasize the need for a unified response to ensure collective security and are exploring ways to guarantee a future peace deal in Ukraine.
