“More than a dozen Western leaders attended events in Ukraine on Monday marking the third anniversary of the country’s war with Russia, many pledging more military aide in a conspicuous show of support for Kyiv as uncertainty deepened over the commitment of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to helping it fend off Russia’s invasion,” the AP said Monday. “The guests had similar messages: Ukraine and its European partners must be consulted in any peace negotiations, Putin’s ambitions must be thwarted, and Europe must take on more of the burden for its own defense.”
