European leaders gather in Paris to strengthen support for Ukraine as U.K. offers troops

European leaders met in Paris to discuss Ukraine's security amid new U.S.-Russia talks. Britain offered to send peacekeeping troops, reflecting a shift in European resolve to support Ukraine without relying solely on U.S. assistance. The summit follows President Trump's announcement of U.S. discussions with Russia, which Ukraine's President Zelensky criticized for excluding his country. Germany and Sweden indicated potential troop contributions, while Poland and Spain declined to offer troops at this time. As fighting continues, the Kremlin ruled out territorial concessions. The Paris talks aim to explore security guarantees for Ukraine, with peacekeeping forces being one option among many.
