Hey fam! 🌍 Big vibes at the White House this Monday as President Trump, Ukraine's President Zelenskyy, and a squad of seven European bigshots met to talk about beefing up Ukraine's security. Here's the lowdown: 🤝
The agenda? Locking in “security guarantees” for Ukraine. Think of it like a friend code: if anyone messes with Ukraine, a whole crew jumps in to help. 🇺🇦🛡️ Trump hinted the U.S. will chip in but left the exact details TBD, saying Europe's on the front lines while ‘we’ll be involved, too.’
Zelenskyy underlined that a strong U.S. signal is 🔑 and promised talks will wrap up within 10 days. Reports say Kyiv is eyeing $90 billion worth of American hardware (and maybe even $100B, if FT’s scoop is right), with Europe picking up part of the tab.
Some EU leaders even invoked NATO's Article 5—the OG collective defense rule—as a template to craft new guarantees. A potential U.S.-Ukraine-Russia trilateral meetup is also on the table, but there’s still chatter over whether to call for a ceasefire first.
Whether you caught the memes on WhatsApp or the quick takes on X, this summit sets the stage for major moves in Europe’s east. Stay tuned for the next 10 days—we'll keep you in the loop faster than you can refresh Insta Stories! 🚀📲
