Summary

U.S., European officials meet in London for Ukraine peace talks, including Keith Kellogg but not Marco Rubio. The U.S. appears increasingly willing to withdraw from a complex process, though Trump still threatens "move on" if progress stalls. France and Germany won't attend anymore, while President Vladimir Putin retains de-facto control over Crimea and other Ukrainian territories under ongoing proposals. Key players like Macron and Starmer seek long-term security guarantees for Ukraine but Trump continues to threaten U.S. support withdrawal.
