Trump's plan for Ukraine: Europe demands a say and security!

In a significant step toward ending the war in Ukraine, US President Donald Trump is making a controversial proposal that benefits Russia. According to the banners of crown Security guarantees from European countries are supposed to burden Ukraine, while Russia is allowed to claim control over conquered areas. This was hinted at by Trump's strategy adviser Mike Waltz, triggering alarmed reactions from European foreign ministers.

Under this plan, ministers from Germany, France, Poland, Britain, Spain and Italy are demanding greater responsibility for Ukraine and reaffirming their willingness to offer additional support. In a joint statement, they demand that both Ukraine and Europe be involved in Trump's desired peace negotiations with Russia. These demands were made in an article ZDF published and underline the importance of involving Ukraine in the discussions to ensure its independence and territorial integrity.

Scholz warns against making too big concessions

Chancellor Olaf Scholz says in a podcast that it is important to avoid a “dictated peace” and that Ukraine must continue to have the opportunity to develop even after a peace agreement. Scholz emphasizes that Ukraine needs a strong army equipped with Western weapons.

Interestingly, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock also emphasizes that Europe cannot replace the USA, but that negotiations must not take place over the heads of the Ukrainians. In light of recent telephone conversations between Trump and both Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, pressure is growing on allied nations to find a clear line and position themselves against Russia's advanced claims. It remains to be seen how these political movements will affect the conflict in Ukraine and stability in Europe.
