Europe has a lot to do before it can exert real influence on a Ukraine peace deal
Briefly

Europe and the UK are attempting to establish a credible military coalition regarding Ukraine, hoping to place pressure on Donald Trump, who risks appearing too friendly with Putin if he declines support. The coalition's success hinges on NATO participation, as well as improving relations between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Trump post their recent meeting. European leaders are discussing a ceasefire's terms to prevent the US from negotiating a deal with Russia that could exclude Europe and Ukraine from future security considerations.
The ongoing debate in European capitals is centered on whether America can still be regarded as a reliable ally, especially with Trump's uncertain intentions.
Keir Starmer’s emphasis on creating a coalition capable of enforcing a ceasefire could reshape NATO's strategy, but practical troop commitments remain unconfirmed.
The necessity of a credible military coalition arises from the need for Europe and Ukraine to ensure their security against possible agreements favoring Russia.
The hope for an effective partnerships relies on Zelenskyy's ability to mend ties with Trump and gain US support for Ukrainian interests.
