Customs conflict and NATO: Rutte demands clarity for the security of Europe

Kiew, Ukraine - The current state of international relations, especially with regard to Ukraine and NATO conflict, is characterized by a number of current developments. Today Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte commented on the US Customs Policy and demanded that the security debate be separated from the NATO. Rutte emphasized that the Foreign Ministers' meeting in Brussels is overshadowed by the new US tariffs to imports from the EU that is 20 percent. He pointed out that it was logical to discuss the tariffs, but the focus should be on defending the NATO area. This is reported by the Süddeutsche Zeitung .

The geopolitical tensions in view

Ukraine is still under pressure to maintain its entitlement to the areas occupied by Russia and strives for a security connection to the West. Russia, on the other hand, wants to keep control of these areas, which leads to further tensions between the nations. Ukraine also requires direct participation in peace negotiations, but is rejected by Russia. While the United States is committed to a quick ceasefire under Trump, concessions from Ukraine await you to prevent out -of -area losses

In the middle of these challenges, some European leaders organize a special summit of the EU that is scheduled for March 6. Open questions to support Ukraine and European security are to be clarified, as reported by the Tagesschau The question remains how Europe can react to geopolitical tensions, while simultaneously the negotiations in Ukraine continue.
