The road to the ceasefire in the fire was opened by his phone call and his staffs announced a summit for arrangements beyond those who have already been processed.
Washington’s re -order with Moscow was accompanied by US government messages in Ukraine that it would not become a member of it and that it would have to drink the bitter glass of the loss of some territories conquered by the Russians.
as well as for European leaders who, among other things, are called upon to allocate soldiers to a peacekeeping force without being covered by Article 5 on Allied Solidarity, nor including in the ranks of US troops.
Almost three years
It’s been almost three years from another phone call, the last between Biden and Putin, on the eve of the Russian invasion, with the US president’s warning that the attack on Ukraine would cost Moscow.
The Russian president did not go back and ordered the invasion of February 24, 2022, which evolved into a long war with estimates for more than one million dead and injured, although each side imposes military censorship by downgrading their own losses and maximizes.
Did Putin have been fed or will there be a continuation?
How much and why did human life in the battlefields in Ukraine in these three years? How and why did the daily life of European citizens be precise after the burglary of economic and political relations with Moscow? Who and why does it pay for blood and money, with human lives and equipment, to keep the Russian bear away? Did Putin have been fed or will there be a continuation? Questions that European leaders who have tied to the Washington chariot of Biden are asked to answer and are now seeing it. All the more so when they are in the elections, such as in Germany on February 23, where Trump’s long -term move is also a “pass” on the far -right AfD which permanently challenges the value of Ukraine’s defense while linked to obvious and uninhabited ways. .
The challenge of European leadership’s choices in the Ukrainian is not automatically forgotten “whipping” to Russia, as the Brussels narrative and several European governments still insist today. If the American -Russian approach evolves into a new Yalta, Europeans will find it difficult to find a place on the table, let alone an equal position. And only Trump and Putin will not blame for that.
