“It is also a question of how the new US administration is in the world, what kind of punch it has, and to what extent you can rely on the United States of America in the world,” said Baerbock. Therefore, security guarantees for Ukraine are necessary “that wear in the long run”. Everyone involved would have to undertake that the country decides independently about elections and that “the way to the European Union can be taken”.
The Europeans would have to make it clear to their US partners that their procedures in Ukraine are also observed in other regions, such as in the Indopazificif. “There is a closer look: does it apply that someone can enforce their power interests with the absolute break of international law?” Said Baerbock.
The evening before, the foreign minister had advised several European colleagues about the future of Ukraine. The beginning of the meeting had collapsed with the announcement of Trump’s one and a half hour call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which the two agreed to take peace negotiations soon.
