Europe in 'harm's way': Leaders reshape Trump's Ukraine peace terms.

  • European leaders are holding high-level meetings with Ukrainian and US officials to reshape a potential peace deal for Ukraine.
  • Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, British PM Starmer, German Chancellor Merz, and US envoys Witkoff and Kushner are among those meeting.
  • Key agenda items include a €210 billion loan from frozen Russian assets for Ukraine and firming up security guarantees.
  • Ukraine is reportedly willing to drop its demand for NATO membership in exchange for collective defense-type security guarantees.
  • A major point of contention remains the Donbas region, which Trump suggests ceding to Russia, aligning with Putin's demands.

Why It Matters: Europe's actions this week will determine Ukraine's future and regional stability.
