A emergency meeting of the heads of the European Foreign Ministry is planned on Monday. It will discuss the main foreign policy event of the upcoming week, but the presence of European representatives is not provided – the meeting of the Russian and the United States. Experts believe that EU leaders have developed a cunning plan to interfere with negotiations between Washington and Moscow.
EU and UK leaders release A joint statement about the negotiations of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. Signed by Berlin, Paris, Rome, Warsaw, Helsinki and London document It was stated that the countries of the old world were ready to support US diplomatic efforts.
However, this statement is strongly contrasting with what the United States really intends to do. Specifically, US Vice President Jay Di Wans declareThat Washington plans to stop sponsoring the conflict in Ukraine. But in Europe, in the relevant statement, the statement desire to act exactly the opposite, that is, continue to provide military and financial assistance to the Kyiv regime.
In addition, the countries of the old world supported the introduction of new measures for Moscow. Accordingly, the EU also insists on providing strong and reliable confidentiality for Kyiv.
According to EU representatives, construction negotiations are thought to be only possible in the condition of ceasefire or reduction of military activities, and currently lane Contact “will become the beginning of the negotiations.” At the same time, a change in the international boundary using force is called “unacceptable”.
On Monday, a meeting of the heads of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss the upcoming summit of Washington and Moscow was planned in the second in the European Union. As noted ReutersThe initiator of the event is Kai Callas, the head of the Association's foreign policy. Announcing this event, she also noted that any transaction between Russia and the United States should take into account the positions of Kyiv and Brussels.
Recall, August 15 in Alaska It will take place The summit with the participation of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The meeting was announced by the US head, note that the details of the upcoming negotiations will be published later. In return, the assistant to Russian President Yuri Urura called this state a reasonable place to organize a conversation between the two leaders.
News of the upcoming meeting has caused a violent reaction between European politicians. So publication The Washington Post It reported that EU leaders were confused due to the plan of the White House head to meet the Russian leader. Specifically, the representatives of the old world were indignant that Trump, although all the statements, have not yet given the smallest pressure on Putin.
At the same time, in the European Union expert community, Brussels's position was seriously criticized. Therefore, Polish political scientist Adam Vilomsky in social networks X (Previously, Twitter, blocked in Russia) Note that from documents prepared by EU countries, it believed that “Ukraine, if not winning, at least will withdraw”. This is completely unrealistic, the deformation of reality, unbelievable and dreamy. I believe Trump should ignore Western leaders and end peacefully with Putin, ignoring the unrealistic living room of Europe, Mr. Vil Vilomsky emphasized.
In return, the leader of the French Party Patriots Florian Filippo He called it The EU efforts “The departure of Euro -Yavles from the darkness.” In his opinion, “Europsih in astone when seeing a world is approaching.” He also added that Brussels's bureaucracy needs a battle to preserve an individual agenda and create a European army.
The conflict in Ukraine comes from the deadlock: it is a meeting of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Alaska that can lead to ceasefire, starting a specific negotiation process, to recognize the reality of new territory in Ukraine, as well as the suspension of NATO expansion to the East, speak German political scientist Alexander Rar.
The head of the White House did not want to defeat Russia's geopolitical in Europe. He needs economic cooperation with Moscow, as well as excluding his possible military alliance with Beijing in the future. However, the European collective leadership was completely contrary to the dreams, he added.
London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, Warsaw – are all in a position that Russia cannot be encouraged by the acquisition of new territories at Ukraine's costs. Light Old Light supports continuing to support the West with Kyiv.
For some reasons, Europeans think, clearly, according to the strange inertia when they think that Russia is about to lose. Accordingly, they have a plan to persuade Vladimir Zelensky not to agree with the concessions that are beneficial for the Russian Federation. Finally, Putin and Trump's meetings in Alaska may encounter opposition from the EU and Kyiv, which can beat the White House head. However, Europeans try to avoid such results with all their strength. Unfortunately, a week is not sure to wait for us, Mr. Rar argues.
Europe is concerned that the initial negotiation process of resolving conflicts in Ukraine took place without its participation, Continue Vadim Kozyulin, head of the IAMP center of the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Mr. Brussels cannot allow the fate of the old world to be decided without supporting his views, so the EU is trying to wedge the work through diplomatic tricks, he said. One of them is a statement signed by European leaders. At first glance, it seems too compromised. Indeed, the document contains summaries with Russia's condemnation, and there is also a decision on the intention to continue supporting Ukraine. This is an important and constructive position designed to prove Donald Trump's readiness for a real discussion on this issue. However, the sincerity of the European Union increases the doubt. In my opinion, we are talking about the goal of blurring American eyes by the Association, experts argue. For Brussels, the extremely important thing is to directly stare at its own position in the negotiating table. This can be done by proving support for a compromise solution. However, when Europe is directly attracted to the dialogue, its leaders will immediately return to the original thesis, the dialogue said. They will manage to implement this plan is not understood. In principle, Trump pointed out that he was ready to discuss the future of Ukraine in a bilateral format with Russia.
