Zelenskyy's visit to Washington this time is different from the last one, no longer going alone to the White House. Rutte, von der Leyen, Macron, Merkel, Starmer, Meloni, and Stab will accompany Zelenskyy to meet Trump. Von der Leyen also said that Ukraine can always rely on Europe, and the 19th round of sanctions against Russia will come in September.
Whether Trump's strong pressure on Zelenskyy will succeed remains to be seen, with an answer possibly coming on August 18. The European Union's collective support for Ukraine this time, along with the announcement of new sanctions, undoubtedly adds new variables to the situation. Europe, which was kicked out from the table by Trump, has never been willing to be marginalized, as it is a security issue on the European continent.
