The article discusses the European Union's urgent need to rethink its defense strategy in light of Vladimir Putin's aggressive actions and the unpredictable US political landscape under Donald Trump. EU leaders are reallocating budgets to strengthen military readiness and support Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. Concerns about a potential trap in ceasefire negotiations emphasize the need for a strong Ukrainian position. The proposed Multinational Force Ukraine aims to provide reassurance and protection, reflecting a changing dynamic in European defense and security policies.
The bloc must continue to give strong backing to Ukraine regardless of any talks between Washington and Moscow. Unless Kyiv is in a position of strength, any ceasefire could be a trap.
Given Mr Trump's growing animosity towards Europe, and the draconian tariff regime he has imposed, many may be wondering: with friends like these, who needs enemies?
