Storm in European -American relations; Rescue or collapse?

The catastrophic meeting between Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelnski and US President Donald Trump and his vice -president JD Venus on February 7 at the White House led to a dark moment for the Western coalition. The Trump administration not only shook Kiev by announcing its support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, questioning some of the infrastructure assumptions that have formed transcriptive relations since World War II.

Some European capitals are frightened. Some policymakers and analysts talk about the end of NATO or the end of the West. They are afraid of US intentions: “Whether Washington intends to actively undermine Ukraine’s long -term survival as an independent and free state? Does Trump intend to confront China by attracting Russian President Vladimir Putin? “

“Now, there is a great gap in transnational trust, a gap that is bad for Washington’s global power and to accept it as a good superior power, and is potentially for the extra -atlantic cohesion and NATO life,” said Farenn Afarz Magazine.

According to this article, the challenge of the West is frustrated, but Europe itself can do a lot of work to show why the United States is much stronger than without it. Europe has not only survived, but has continued to grow despite the many challenges, but has become stronger in terms of cohesion, membership and deterrence.

The question that Europeans are now facing is that the Trump administration has created a fundamental problem in their trust: “For the first time, European leaders are not sure whether the United States is committed to NATO and the role of the US leadership.”

“But the story is more complicated,” writes Farren Afrz. It should be borne in mind that Trump has played a vital role in defending Ukraine, and as a result, Kiev has been able to defend himself since the beginning of his war with Russia in February and survived, as the United States had launched weapons such as Javalin’s anti -tank missiles in the first term of Trump. Therefore, it is not out of the question to say that Ukraine owes its survival in the sensitive days of early spring, to the support of Trump’s White House during his previous presidency. “

Now, the question is why Washington now wants to abandon this impressive success while knowing what its effects on Europe to Russia?

“Neither the first Trump government nor the Biden Obama government in the year 6, repeated the timing of Russia’s invasion of the Crimean Island,” Farren Afrz wrote in the past in which Europe could not overcome its challenges without the presence of the United States. They did not allow the Europeans to resolve the Ukrainian war, but decided to lead a significant international effort to support Ukraine. “The new Trump government has also decided to play the role of leadership again and end the war.”

It is essentially in the interest of Europe to welcome this strategic US interaction, which in fact prevents Washington from moving away from Europe and to China. But to achieve success, the two sides of the Atlantic must quickly close the gap. If this can be done, the fundamental challenge is to find a way to guarantee security and implement an agreement with Ukraine.

First of all, Ukraine must be in the negotiations and must be assured that the outcome is “fair”. According to the report, without Ukrainian and European active participation, the Trump administration’s peace efforts may be eliminated even before starting. That is why, after the February 7th meeting at the White House, it will benefit the United States to quickly reform relations with Zelksky and Ukraine.

In the meantime, the Europeans have to clarify that without participating in the peace talks, no military deployment will be, as Washington asks Europe to bear the burden of defending itself. And Europe knows one thing well: “If the agreement happens, it is not just about the decomposition of Ukraine or the rapid ceasefire. “This is about a series of sustainable and secure peace arrangements on existential security issues for the whole of Europe.”

“The bigger question is how to deal with Russia,” the American magazine continued. No significant signal has been received from Moscow so far. The forecasts are that the Kremlin has made maximum demands and it will be very difficult to change it. This is an illusion to believe that a sustainable peace with Russia will only take place in eastern Ukraine. Russia, with new and widespread demands, with issues related to strategic stability, will submit requests for US military installations in Eastern Europe and will become an expensive and unreliable partner. “Europe and the United States must prepare themselves for a long and painful process.”

Most importantly, the media believes that there is an urgent need for a new type of European leadership. European powers need to show that they can bear more burdens that increase the collective power of this alliance to defend their strategic security interests and to rebuild their coalition. France, Germany, Poland, and their other pedestrian neighbors must begin a major defensive initiative that is centered on a group of powers ready to talk about security issues. The best and clever way for the Trump administration to incorporate Europe and Ukraine, as well as other partners such as Turkey, is to re -establish a tested and proven “contact group” that was introduced in the 1980s to create a common sense of unity and a common goal under US leadership.

“It should be reminded of Washington that it should be proud of that innovative and successful diplomatic format that was the US initiative,” Farren Afrz said. “In Ukraine, this can provide the critical elements needed to ensure the actual end of the war.”
