Meanwhile, Brussels is a long way from Riyadh. So why is retired General Keith Kellogg – touted as Trump's steady hand on Ukraine – meeting with EU leaders instead of leading the negotiations? We examine what lies at the heart of this potential deal with Putin. We also assess how far European powers progressed at Monday's emergency summit in Paris, hastily convened after US Vice President JD Vance delivered a stark warning to allies at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend. How much leverage do Europe and the Ukrainians have when the continent's main security guarantor seems more inclined to talk to Moscow?
