Europe should get own house in order

Speaking after the summit of European leaders on Ukraine on Sunday, United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer stressed that there would be potentially grave global repercussions if the European conflict was to continue.

His remark has served to underscore the urgent need for all the parties concerned to keep the window of opportunity open for dialogue.

But while the participating leaders at the summit affirmed their shared commitment to devising a strategy to halt the hostilities and seek a sustainable peace resolution, that primarily seems to comprise providing Ukraine with more military aid and engaging with the United States to persuade it to act as the backstop security guarantee for a peace agreement.
