Regina Laska wrote that while Washington and Russia are present with contributions, a noticeable voice from Europe is lacking. She warned that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are negotiating the future of Ukraine and possibly more. China is observing the developments and is considering what Beijing can gain from it. According to Laska, Europe's security order is also at stake. As an example, she mentioned Bulgaria, which does not want to participate in the additional requested amount of 70 billion euros for Ukraine. Prime Minister Radev stated that the war will not be decided with military means. Laska also referred to the analysis by Thomas Jäger in the NDR podcast "Forces and Strategies": It suggests that Trump is mainly interested in business with Russia; whether peace will follow from that remains uncertain. Europe has partially compensated for the American financial withdrawal, Laska wrote, but is still reliant on the USA for weapons, ammunition, and reconnaissance. The recent Patriot deliveries were paid for by Europe, but according to Reuters, there was a lack of approval from US Defense Secretary Hegseth. Also, there was reportedly a lack of approval from Washington for interceptor missiles from European stockpiles, according to Ukrainian President Zelensky. Washington has denied any such intentions. Jäger, according to Laska, does not believe it is sufficient to hope for the US midterm elections: Even another Congress could not reliably force Trump to change course. Moreover, Jäger warned that NATO may not survive politically. Although it has military capabilities, its deterrence is questioned if it remains unclear whether the US president would want to employ them in a serious case. Laska demanded that Europe must build its own military, technological, and economic capabilities and invest together for this purpose. At the same time, the continent is threatened by internal disintegration. Jäger mentioned the French right-wing populists and the AfD, attributing to Moscow and Washington an interest in dismantling European integration. In view of the upcoming presidential election in France and the AfD, which is seeking power in Germany, Laska warned of a weakening of Europe. She wrote that Europe must simultaneously support Ukraine, reduce dependencies, and prevent nationalists from dismantling the European community. Putin could gain from a destroyed Ukraine as well as a dismantled Europe; Trump, Xi, and Putin could share the consequences among themselves while Le Pen and Weidel contribute to the dismantling. #Europa #Ukraine #Sicherheit (translated)
