Europe’s military ministers arrived at NATO headquarters early Thursday with a single message: without Ukraine and Europe at the table, there could be no negotiations regarding Ukraine. How much the US is paying attention is the question.
There is a palpable feeling that European leaders have been taken by surprise after a frenzied day of US announcements; they now fear being left out of any possible agreement pertaining to Ukraine and losing their say in the future of European security.
“Very much out of the blue” was how German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock described Donald Trump’s call with Vladimir Putin, despite the fact that the US president had been making it obvious for months that he wanted to end the war quickly.
John Healey of the UK stated, “Without Ukraine, there can be no negotiation about Ukraine.” Ruben Brekelmans, the Dutch defence secretary, cautioned that the same was true for Europe. We believe that Europe should be represented at the table since what is negotiated also affects Europe. All we need is peace,” tweeted Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on X, emphasising the point. A fair peace. The United States, Europe, and Ukraine should collaborate on this. Together.
