European leaders are grappling with their stance on Ukraine as tensions rise ahead of a key summit in London.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni faces pressure to clarify her position, with opposition parties demanding transparency.

Meanwhile, Meloni has emphasized Europe's reliance on U.

S. support, warning of the continent's vulnerability without Washington.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has reaffirmed unwavering support for Ukraine, while Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán remains staunchly anti-Kiev.

The U.

S. is reportedly considering halting indirect aid to Ukraine, adding to the uncertainty.

As Europe seeks unity, Meloni aims to position Italy as a bridge in the ongoing crisis.
