💨 Abstract

European Union leaders urged U.S. President Donald Trump to consider their security interests during his upcoming summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They emphasized that any peace deal in Ukraine must involve Ukraine and respect international law, opposing Trump's suggestion of territorial concessions. Trump's public support for Putin has alarmed European allies, who fear Putin may gain favorable terms. The EU's unity was challenged as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, an ally of Putin, declined to endorse their statement.
