Europe Mulls New Security Deal

Europe has woken up to a new geopolitical and strategic reality. A flurry of diplomatic activities and tactical manoeuvres have been mounted by the European leaders to strengthen Europe’s security through a concerted approach. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently hosted more than a dozen European leaders at Lancaster House in London to discuss security issues and to build a “coalition of the willing” to support Ukraine. Though the London summit of the European leaders had been planned, it gained much greater geopolitical significance in the wake of the Oval Office meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which had ended on a sour note.
