Summary

After a tense Oval Office encounter with Donald Trump and JD Vance, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy received a warm UK welcome, including an official audience with King Charles at Sandringham.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer convened a defence summit with European and NATO allies to reaffirm solidarity with Ukraine, discuss unlocking frozen Russian assets, and counter the rift caused by Trump’s accusations of Zelenskyy’s ingratitude.

European leaders fear the spat endangers Western unity and peace efforts and are vowing no negotiations on Ukraine without Ukrainian involvement.

"Sorry our kid turned out to be such a douche."

“Keir Starmer will also host European heads of government and the leaders of Canada and Turkey at a special defence summit aimed at presenting a united front on the Ukraine crisis.”

So….a defence meeting with Great Britain, Europe, Turkey, and Canada without the US. This sounds an awful lot like a NATO meeting without the US.

Trump may not have to worry about leaving NATO. They may do it for him.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

The headline incorrectly suggests zelensky had a meltdown in white house, as it's worded.

King Charles steps into diplomacy; is this soft power or a risky political gamble?

The royals meeting heads of state happens regularly no?

[-] meowmeowbeanz@sopuli.xyz 7 points 6 days ago

Sure, but this meeting carries symbolic weight given the ongoing conflict and alliances.
