Ukraine got a reprieve in Washington — not an escape
In the 1963 war movie \"The Great Escape,\" 76 prisoners make it out of their camp in what begins with hope and elation, but ends with all but a handful killed or recaptured. Monday's meeting between the US and its worried Ukrainian and European allies felt a little like those first exhilarating moments of escape, as the meeting passed off better than anyone could have expected in the wake of Russia's clear diplomatic win in Alaska. There was no toxic throwdown between Donald Trump and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky. European leaders weren't forced into some existential choice between blowing up the transatlantic alliance and agreeing to a peace deal that would spell disaster for Kyiv’s security and their own. Instead, the meeting produced commitments to work out security guarantees for Ukraine and to organize direct negotiations between Zelelnsky and Russia's Vladimir Putin.
