Europe facing the hardest choices over Ukraine – so what next?

The AEJ UK explored the tough choices facing the UK and EU member states in view of Russia’s continued military aggression in Ukraine and U.S. President Donald Trump’s questionable attempts to broker a ceasefire and promised end to the war even as he’s been accused of a “betrayal” of Ukraine.

Examining the issues and answering questions at a lunch meeting on May 23 were London visitor Llewellyn King, longtime Washington journalist and producer and host of White House Chronicle, and online from Bucharest, Romania, Edward Lucas, senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, columnist for The TImes, and former senior editor at The Economist.
