The European countries want to prevent Donald Trump from pushing Ukraine into peace in Putin’s conditions. US correspondent Bastian Brauns explains why the resources of Europeans are limited.
Trump has been realizing for months that he no longer wants to help Ukraine to the extent. Instead, he promises to end the war “at all costs” – even if that means peace according to Putin’s ideas.
For Europe, far more is on play than just Ukraine. Such a “lazy peace” could shake the western security regulations, split Europe and endanger transatlantic relationships.
How great the risk is that Trump will sacrifice Ukraine to present a quick peace, and why Europe now has to keep against it, t-online correspondent Bastian Brauns-here-here and above in the video.
The European message in Washington is clear: if Trump wants peace, he must not sacrifice the freedom and security of his partners.
