Munich Diplomats Virus The Trump abandons the leverage of Putin before the talks with Ukraine

On Friday, the European Union’s highest foreign policy officials had an evaluation of the Trump administration’s phenomenon to give Russia’s leader Vladimir F. Putin, a lot of what he wants in Ukraine, even before negotiations to end a three -year war.

“It is a recovery,” the official, Kaja Calas, announced at the Munich Security Conference. “Never succeeded.”

Mrs. Callas, the former Estonia Prime Minister, was barely the only European diplomat to pronounce the word “recovery”, with all her historical resonance, although she was one of the few ready to do this in the registry.

It was almost a description of the Trump administration’s approach is unorganized and often publicly contradicts the questions that acquire the continent: What kind of peace deal does President Trump revolve? Will this be done with Mr. Putin on the heads of both Ukrainians and Europeans, who seems to bear the burden of future security for Ukraine?

Days after Munich’s special speeches and meetings, many officials said they were more confused by their arrival. The statements made by the US Secretary of Defense, Beit Higseth, were in his first effort in international diplomacy inconsistent with the statements made by Vice President JD Vance, in his first international project since his inauguration.

European officials said that, in vain, they tried to extract from the national security team of Mr. Trump, that is, a plan to ensure that Mr. Putin did not simply use a stop to rebuild his inverted army, and within a few years, he returns to take the rest of Ukraine.

They also said that they were amazed that Mr. Trump, who reveals in his negotiating skills in the field of real estate, was ready to give up a lot of influence before entering the foci of technological innovation.

Hundreds of participants in the conference entered a hotel hall on Friday afternoon to hear Mr. Vans, expecting him to raise these issues in a long -awaited address. But to surprise policy makers, defense officials and intelligence who were crowded, mentioning Ukraine only once, while, while European leaders lecture To suppress the speech of the right -wing political movements, which resembles Maga in their country.

No road map of negotiations or even any strategic vision of what Europe should look after the most destructive war on the continent for 80 years. It is also no longer that Europe or Kiev will be essential in negotiations on the borders of Ukraine and its survival as an independent country.

Later in the day, at the end of a meeting with President Voludimir Zellinski from Ukraine, before climbing to the second Air Force to return to Washington, Mr. Vance showed a little more, and the most important targets for upcoming talks with Russia.

“We want the war to end at the end, we want the killing to stop, but we want to achieve a permanent and lasting peace, and not the type of peace that will get Eastern Europe in the road struggle,” he said.

The last phrase was decisive, because many European leaders here said they are afraid that Mr. Trump wanted a very bad deal – and perhaps Nobel Peace Prize He said he deserves – that he will agree on conditions that would leave Ukraine in the cold and allow Russia to rebuild its destroyed forces and attack Ukraine again – and perhaps later, Moldova, and even the NATO test in tilapia nations.

But Mr. Vance stated all the questions about whether Russia would be able to keep the land that it invaded illegally or how to reach an agreement if Mr. Zelinski is not yet ready to meet Mr. Putin, who confirmed that Ukraine is not even a real country.

“I want to keep the option here for negotiators,” said Mr. Vance.

He did not say anything about a timetable for negotiations or whether he had reviewed with Mr. Zellinski, as expected, Ukrainian plan to give the United States reach some rare minerals in the country. That was one of the demands of Mr. Trump to continue support.

Perhaps Mr. Vans had said very little because Mr. Higseth, the Minister of Defense, seemed to have been getting rid of, then retreated, then, on Friday, he blamed the media for his misfortune.

On Wednesday, Mr. Higseth said that the Ukrainians need an understanding that they would lose a large part of their country against Russia as part of any settlement. He added that if a deal is concluded, no American forces will participate in the peacekeeping force in Ukrainian territory. The European police will be a ceasefire or the official truce-a special non-NATO strength. This situation will confirm that if it is attacked, the United States will not be attracted to a war to defend its allies in NATO.

When she mocked his comments throughout Europe and took it as Mr. Zelinski, he announced that he had not given anything and that Mr. Trump alone is the ability to determine what he would surrender and will not be delivered. He never talked about what Russia might have to be abandoned in negotiations – if there is anything.

Last week, NATO Foreign Minister said allies were told that all Ukraine options were on the table and that the White House was open to discussions. Now, things are less clear, especially yet Mr. Trump’s phone conversation with Mr. Putin Earlier this week.

The minister said that the problem is that the regular mechanism of foreign construction of foreign policy has been deliberately broken, as many officials of Mr. Trump resume from different views. The minister said that the allies have no clear picture of how to make decisions, a change since the past twenty years.

The minister, who insisted on not being identified due to the lack of disclosure of his identity due to the lack of disclosure of his identity due to the lack of disclosure of his identity due to the lack of disclosure of his identity due to the lack of disclosure of his identity due to the lack of disclosure of his identity due to the lack of disclosure of his identity due to the lack of disclosure of his identity due to His identity is not disclosed due to the lack of disclosure of his identity due to the lack of disclosure of his identity due to the lack of a machine, if there is no machine, the allies cannot plan and have a strategy.

Germany’s Secretary of State, Analina Perbuk, said that Mr. Trump’s invitation with Mr. Putin, who broke his isolation, was a surprise to the allies. “This is not the way others do foreign policy, but this is the reality now.”

There is also an increasing consensus that Europe should make a strong anti -Mr. Trump, especially in the support of Ukraine.

“Ukraine has an agency, and it resists aggression,” said Radosla Sikorsky, Poland Foreign Minister, said. “It has allies that will support it comes. So it must be included in any negotiations related to it.”

“Meet The Press with Christine Wilker,” said Mr. Zellinski in an interview with “Meet the Press with Christine Wilker.”

“In all difficult situations, you have a chance. But we will have a low chance – a low opportunity to survive without support from the United States.” In an excerpt issued on Friday. The full interview will be broadcast on Sunday.

They met foreign ministers and officials from several European countries – including Britain, France and Germany – in Paris on Wednesday evening and issued a statement that pledged more support to Ukraine.

“We look forward to discussing the road forward with our American allies,” he said. Ukraine and Europe should be part of any negotiations. Ukraine should be provided with strong security guarantees. “
