Zelenskyy in London for EU peace talks; US plan, Trump's doubts complicate efforts.

• Zelenskyy met with French, German, and British leaders in London to discuss a US-backed peace plan and Ukraine's security.
• Talks aim to strengthen Ukraine's position in negotiations, focusing on security, air defense, and long-term funding.
• A major point of contention in the peace proposal is the suggestion that Ukraine cede control of its Donbas region.
• A new US national security strategy, welcomed by Russia but alarming to Europeans, seeks improved US-Russia ties and questions NATO expansion.
• Diplomatic efforts proceed as Russian forces continue assaults on Ukraine, and Ukrainian drones target Russian regions.
