'No-one was expecting this': European leaders rush to US to help Ukraine avoid 'capitulation'

European leaders rush to the US to prevent Trump from jeopardizing European security by abandoning ceasefire calls and imposing sanctions on Russia. Concerned about Trump's newfound support for Russia, European leaders aim to shift White House thinking on peace negotiations with Ukraine. They advocate for a strong Ukrainian military supported by allied countries and argue that security guarantees must go beyond verbal promises to safeguard the wider security of Europe. The delegation seeks to slow down hasty land-swap deals and focus on concrete steps towards a trilateral summit to negotiate a lasting peace agreement with Russia.
