European leaders tentatively hopeful after call with Trump ahead of Putin summit

European leaders express cautious optimism after virtual meeting with Trump before Putin summit in Alaska to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. Trump aims to secure a ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv, with emphasis on Ukraine's involvement in territorial decisions and security guarantees. The European leaders stress the importance of Ukraine being at the table for follow-up meetings and increasing pressure on Russia if needed to prevent conceding Ukrainian land. Discussions include the potential for creating a "Coalition of the Willing" to deter further Russian invasion and the deployment of a reassurance force post-ceasefire.
