Leaders of more than 20 countries and regional organizations held a video conference on Saturday, under the chairmanship of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, to discuss the Ukraine crisis. This meeting of the Western leaders highlights the United Kingdom's delicate and somewhat contradictory position between Europe and the United States.

On the one hand, the UK is attempting to assume a leadership role in European defense.

Starmer mentioned the European military powers will meet next week to elevate peace moves to an "operational phase", which indicates that the UK not only aims to play a big role on the Ukraine crisis but also hopes to spearhead collective European defense efforts.

Starmer said they agreed to keep the military aid flowing to Ukraine, and increasing the pressure on Russia by tightening restrictions on its economy. The meeting decided to convene a conference of military personnel in the UK on Thursday to further refine plans for long-term support of Ukraine's defense capabilities. Whether the UK's policy of maximum pressure on Russia will yield any substantial results remains to be seen.

On the other hand, Starmer has been stressing on the close relationship between the UK and the US. Despite the UK's efforts to try and play a leading role in Europe's defense, Starmer's remarks show a high level of dependence on the US. He explicitly stated that achieving peace in Ukraine must be done in partnership with the US, and emphasized that the UK's strategic stance toward the US has not changed.

The stance reflects the UK's continuous difficulty in breaking free of US constraints on major foreign and security policies.

As calls for Europe's defense autonomy grow louder, the UK's role between the US and Europe will increasingly put it in a dilemma. Will the UK seize the opportunity to establish its own leadership on the Ukraine crisis, or will it continue to waver between the US and continental Europe for survival? The upcoming military conference in the UK on Thursday will give further insight into the latest direction of UK policy.
