Europe holds Ukraine summit in Paris as Russia heads to Saudi for talks with US

As European leaders prepare for emergency Ukraine talks in Paris, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is heading to Saudi Arabia for talks with the US

Lavrov will discuss possible peace talks with the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday

Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he’s ready to put UK peacekeeping troops in Ukraine if and when the war ends

Starmer says he is “willing to contribute to security guarantees to Ukraine by putting our own troops on the ground if necessary”

Starmer – along with leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and others – begin talks in Paris this afternoon

This has the feel of a great battle coming with both sides going to their corner for peace or war discussions. Right vs left or the West vs the east?
