European leaders are seeking a united front on Ukraine as the US's backing wavers. US officials are planning to meet with counterparts from Moscow and Kyiv in Saudi Arabia for ceasefire talks. European leaders are concerned that their interests will be sidelined if the US engages in talks with Russia. Talks of a potential deployment of peacekeepers and the creation of a European army have also been discussed.
