Key Points:
- European leaders and representatives from 35 countries convened in Paris to discuss security commitments and monitoring mechanisms for a potential cease-fire in Ukraine.
- The meeting, hosted at the Élysée Palace, included U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, signaling a possible American commitment to Ukraine’s security despite previous tensions.
- The U.S. military raid in Venezuela and President Trump’s Greenland acquisition threat stirred strong emotions in Europe, complicating the diplomatic atmosphere surrounding the talks.
- Russia’s absence from the negotiations and Ukrainian President Zelensky’s skepticism suggest that a cease-fire remains unlikely in the near future.
