European governments are reeling after the Trump administration signaled that it is planning face-to-face talks with Russia on ending the Ukraine war without involving them, insisted that Kyiv should not join NATO, and said that it’s up to Europe to protect itself and Ukraine from whatever Russia might do next.

“There can be no negotiation about Ukraine without Ukraine. And Ukraine’s voice must be at the heart of any talks,” U.K. Defence Secretary John Healey told reporters at NATO headquarters, as the organization’s 32 defense ministers met for talks on Ukraine.

Europe, he said, “will have to live directly” with the consequences, so “it goes without saying that we must be part of the negotiations.”

    Is Europe willing to support Ukraine even without the US? If not, there is sadly nothing to talk about.

    The neolib leadership should collectively pull their heads out of their asses and figure out a vision for Europe because if they keep trying to make it a US colony, they will lose it to the fascists.
