Just about all of Europe is coming to DC with Zelensky

78. I think there are a few different reasons for this "show of force".

1. Showing solidarity against Putin.

2. Strategy session. Ukraine is losing troops and they need them to get rallied and back into the fight. Plus war fatigue is setting in. And doing the same thing isn't going to work.

3. Trump may have indicated he's ready to just give up and walk away from this. So they need to convince him to continue fighting.

4. Putin may have implied a willingness to give up on some of his demands, but fall way short of what everyone wants. So if this is the first thaw in the ice wall, it can't be afforded to ignore it.

5. Lukashenko of Belarus has indicated he may not seek another term, nor is his son interested. They have talked about merging Russia and Belarus back together. That could really throw another wrench into the machine. So they may discuss on preparing for that eventuality as it gives Russia a newer and longer border with Ukraine.

Doubt we know everything for a long while.
