Reporting from the Munich Security Conference

On this final day of the Munich Security Conference confusion and uncertainty still cloud the issue of how President Trump plans to end the Ukraine war.

European leaders worry that this is a train that’s leaving without them.

They are due to hold an emergency summit next week, just as US and Russian negotiators begin talks in Saudi Arabia, that apparently will not include Ukraine.

This year’s Munich conference will be remembered for the week that America told Europe: everything’s changed, you can no longer take it for granted that we will be there to defend you.

European nations are now under pressure to raise their defence spending to at least three per cent of their national wealth as they brace for the likelihood Russia will use a ceasefire in Ukraine to rebuild its huge army on Nato’s eastern flank.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, has issued a statement following US plans to hold Ukraine peace talks with Russia - without Europe.

Starmer says the talks will offer "a once in a generation moment for our national security".

He adds: "It's clear Europe must take on a greater role in Nato as we work with the United States to secure Ukraine's future and face down the threat we face from Russia."

His comments come following US President Donald Trump's special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, saying European leaders would be consulted but not take part in any talks between US and Russia over ending the war.

Kellogg told the Munich Security Conference that previous efforts at negotiation had failed because too many parties were involved.
