nato head mark rutte and eu president ursula von der leyen will be hosting a meeting, this wednesday 18th december, to discuss developing a joint ukraine strategy as the donald trump presidency approaches. in attendance as well as rutte and von der leyen will be zelensky and the leaders of france, germany, poland, italy, and the uk. on the agenda for discussion will be the deployment of 40,000 "peacekeeping" troops from their militaries to deploy to ukraine should a ceasefire be announced. they'll also be discussing what to do if trump doesn't follow their agenda or pulls american support. undoubtedly they're scared of what trump might do and are organising as a group to go against him and to push for certain demands to be made on the russians in negotiations.
