Trump and Putin in conversation: EU Minister demand co-determination for Ukraine!

EU claim for a say
The European reaction immediately followed: Several foreign ministers emphasized the need for Ukraine and Europe to be involved in all negotiations. This demand reflects the fear that the course of the conversation and the results against the interests of Ukraine could fail without German and European influence. In a joint statement, the Foreign Minister made it clear that independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine must have top priority. Minister of Defense Pete Hegseth meanwhile expressed that European countries were forced to strengthen NATO and to take on more responsibility so that European security is secured. This assessment ensures concern and unrest among the EU countries that fear for their own security, while Russia is cheering about the new course in the USA, such as nau.ch reported.
NATO and the EU Security Council must now urge the European role in the negotiations, while the US military presence is at the reinforcement in Europe. At a time when the geopolitical tensions are so high, the ability to influence the dominance of American politics is increasingly crucial for the survival of European security policy.
