EU failed to Trump-proof Europe and now faces humiliation over Ukraine
Briefly

The Munich Security Conference often reveals Vladimir Putin's power plays. In recent years, events like Navalny's disputed death and potential talks with Trump signal worsening European security challenges. Despite repeated calls since 2012 for Europe to bolster defense structures, strategic discussions have yielded minimal action. Analysts argue that Europe must address its military capabilities urgently, as expressed by former MI6 chief Alex Younger, asserting a reliance on the US. The situation highlights Europe's ongoing struggle to create a cohesive response to external threats amid shifting political dynamics.

The current atmosphere surrounding talks between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin raises concerns about Russia's potential territorial gains at the expense of Ukrainian sovereignty.
