Starmer urges stronger European defense support for Ukraine

Keir Starmer is hosting a summit with European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to address tensions over Ukraine. The meeting follows a failed discussion between Zelensky and Donald Trump in the U.S. Starmer plans to emphasize the need for European nations to enhance defense efforts and support Ukraine. He aims to secure lasting peace and security guarantees for Ukraine amid ongoing Russian aggression. Zelensky received a warm welcome in the UK, contrasting with his recent experience in Washington. Meanwhile, UK officials are considering using frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine's defense.
