The Telegraph: An EU army offers no lasting salvation for Ukraine
European leaders are discussing sending troops to Ukraine for peacekeeping, but skepticism remains about their effectiveness and coordination, given past military cooperation failures in Afghanistan. Concerns grow over reliance on U.S. support under Trump's administration.
