The White House’s claim that the so-called Ukraine peace plan is not only good for Russia, but also for Ukraine, contains a cynicism that could come straight from the Kremlin, as does the paper’s 28 points. They support the complete surrender of not only Ukraine, but also the free West to the aggressor.
In all seriousness, the American president is now not giving an ultimatum to Moscow to end its war of aggression – as he once did, simply letting it pass without consequences – but rather to the people under attack.
European countries were shocked by the agreement
He wants to end the war at all costs, regardless of what consequences kneeling before the Kremlin would have on Ukraine. And for the rest of Europe, Putin can celebrate his victory in Russia as Hitler did after he brought the Sudetenland “home into the Reich.”
The European heads of state who spoke by telephone on Friday about the dramatic development and the threat it poses to the security of all of Europe were as shocked by the fateful Trump-Putin pact as the general public.
Once again, all they can do is demand involvement in negotiations – and at least put a good face in the evil game with Ukraine on screen. Because Europe will remain dependent on America to stand by its side if Putin launches his next attack, which would most likely happen with the conquest of Ukraine.
But what if Trump no longer cares about the complaints that have occurred so far? Then European countries will have to decide whether they too will give up on Ukraine – or whether they will ultimately support Ukraine firmly so that Ukraine can continue to be Europe’s first bulwark against Russian imperialism. If the Ukrainian stronghold falls, then as the saying goes, Poland is open.
