Trump's Turnaround on Ukraine: Europe Looks to Peace Without America

The European Union's Commissioner for Defence and Space, noting Donald Trump's change of position on Volodymyr Zelensky, called for Europe and Ukraine to develop an independent strategy for establishing peace.

Referring to Donald Trump's change of position regarding Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the Commissioner of Defense and Space of the European Union called for the formulation of an independent strategy by Europe and Ukraine to establish peace.

Ambassador Arjan-International Group: While US President Donald Trump has taken a stance against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after reaching an agreement with his Russian counterpart on the sale of diesel fuel and has openly called for his removal, European Union Defense and Space Commissioner Andrius Kubilius says: The European Union and Kyiv should consider developing their own independent strategy for peace in Ukraine.

In a message on social networks, he wrote: So far, the European Union has been the only serious financial supporter of Ukraine, but it was expected that the leadership of the United States would also help in establishing peace in Ukraine.

He added: "The time has come for the European Union and Ukraine to jointly formulate and implement an independent peace strategy."

By publishing this article, Ambassador Arjan also raised the issue that maybe this comment reflects his personal position and not the official policy of the European Union.

The comments came after Trump on Saturday called on Ukraine to "find a new leader" after his Ukrainian counterpart criticized Washington's easing of sanctions on Russian diesel.

The easing of Russian sanctions comes as the US president faces pressure on fuel prices just weeks before midterm elections.

Ambassador Arjan added: Trump accused the president of Ukraine of preventing an agreement with Moscow and ignoring instructions not to attack Russian refineries. Meanwhile, Kiev and its European allies have warned that easing pressure on Moscow would help fund the Kremlin-led war.

Yesterday, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadful announced that Germany still stands by Ukraine and its government.

Meanwhile, London also announced that British Prime Minister Andy Burnham had a conversation with Zelensky and assured him that London will continue to intensify sanctions against Russia.

The Financial Times reported that the United States has threatened Kiev to stop sharing information and stop supplying weapons in order to stop Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries.

Emmanuel Macron, announcing France's support for the energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, emphasized that Paris will continue to stand by Kiev.
