On Friday, prominent European leaders made a video call with the US President to impress the results of the meeting in Alaska between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as Germany hosted Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelanski in Berlin.
Ursula von dera Leyen, chairman of the European Union Commission, posted on X that Europe, America and NATO provoked “common land for Ukraine”, and would be in close coordination.
The purpose of diplomatic intervention of the European Union was to influence the collective desire of the block for peace to Trump, but so gave him a letter on suspected motifs of his Russian counterpart – and warned against accepting the Ukrainian region in talks.
Some hope that the European ally may have succeeded in convincing Trump against selling Ukrainian and European interests. Nevertheless, since they would remain far away, Trump and Putin had a closed door talks, which could be transpires, tension on it.
What does Europe expect from Trump-Tutin talks?
During Wednesday’s call, Ukraine and his European colleagues stated that they wanted a ceasefire before reducing any Nath Nath Russia.
Trump seems to have noted a note on him, although it is not a precondition for him – he believes that a ceasefire “wood of goodwill from Russia,” CNN reported,
Even though Trump is meeting Putin without Zelanski in Alaska, he indicated that a tripartite meeting may be held, including the Ukrainian President’s son.
French President Emmanuel Macron said that the trilateral Alaska may be in a neutral country in Europe after a Tate-a-tet.
Trump has said that it may be necessary to exchange some fields to end the war first. But after talking to Europeans, he said that such a concession would not be made without Zelancesi on the table.
And while Trump is still opposed to the Ukraine joining NATO – who has long stated that it was necessary as a security guarantee, experts suggest that the US may be more open to offer any kind of assurance to prevent future Russian aggression.
“The nature of the US security guarantee and practical contribution will be subject to further interaction,” said DC-based senior partner of German Marshall Fund (GMF).
Europe wants to pay Russia and makes it to make Trump Sura
Ukraine and the European Unions hopes that the US will be asked to repay the part of the large -scale reconstruction bill as part of future interactions from Russia.
Ukraine is estimated to cost between 500 billion and $ 1 trillion to repair the damage caused by Russian bomb blasts. Kiev and her supporters argue that a part of it should come from frozen Russian property, of which € 200 are located in Belgium, which are prominent in a bank called Eurocillier.
There is a push for President Trump to return to the war of Ukrainian prisoners along with thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia.
The block hopes that the US will tighten its screws and impose secondary restrictions on Russia if the Russian President refuses to set fire.
And what is Europe afraid?
Despite some relief after the call, there is still fear that Putin may beat Trump.
If Putin Trump has to cut the supply of arms in Ukraine, even European partners, and through intelligence sharing, Ukraine needs both American military equipment and reconnaissance to cut arms supply.
Another apprehension in Europe is that the US can withdraw its property from the continent and make the alliance weak.
Rafael Loss, a policy companion at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), said, “Russia wants to push America out of Eastern Europe and claim military dominance. Putin can use this meeting to encourage the soldiers to return from Europe to return.” This is a worrying possibility, “America is already reviewing its global force.”
“In that case, the first and at the forefront of Europeans will need to shore their own defense” in Eastern European countries, the disadvantage said.
GMF’s Berzina said, “The US force is estimated to have a decrease, although the measure of return is not yet clear.” “But of course, this process is taking place at the same time because Ukraine and Russia’s dialogue is taking shape. It will be difficult for America to Europe -if it wants Russia to Russia that the US is deeply committed to European security.”
