A terrible plan of political deception of the US and Russia by the European Prothom Alo is brought to light by the German magazine Der Spiegel, revealing conversations from the video conference of European leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shocking German leak reveals the intention of the Europeans to torpedo Trump’s plan to end the war in Ukraine, while at the same time reflecting their negative attitude towards the American actions and their behind-the-scenes sabotage, despite the public approval of the American president’s initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, during the video conference, French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his concern, warning his interlocutors that “the US may betray Ukraine”, a view that reportedly found broad agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first torpedo from the eager ones at the Trump plan: \u201cIt is\u2026 too pro-Russian\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The conference call took place after the Trump administration delivered to Kiev the 28-point peace plan, which was reportedly drafted by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The plan was rejected by Ukraine and the Europeans as \u201ctoo friendly\u201d to Russia, sparking heated negotiations in Geneva. However, the Elysee Palace, when asked about Macron\u2019s comments, said the French president \u201cnever used those words.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Macron’s bombshell: “The Trump plan poses a huge threat to Zelensky”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the French President, the discussion included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr St\u00f8re and European Council President Antonio Costa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The topic of discussion was the US initiatives for peace negotiations between Kiev and Moscow. Macron reportedly said that \u201cthere is a possibility that the US will betray Ukraine on the issue of territories, without clarity on security guarantees,\u201d adding that this poses a \u201chuge risk\u201d for Zelensky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAre we going to leave Zelensky alone with\u2026 these guys?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Merz warned that Zelensky should proceed \u201cextremely carefully in the coming days.\u201d \u201cThey are playing games \u2014 with you and with us,\u201d he said, pointing to US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, who spent five hours in a closed-door meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the minutes, Stubb from Finland was on the same wavelength as Merz. \u201cWe cannot leave Ukraine and Volodymyr alone with these guys,\u201d he said, also taking pictures of Witkoff and Kushner. Rutte immediately joined in: \u201cI agree with Alexander \u2014 we must protect Volodymyr Zelensky,\u201d the NATO chief stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They also eyed\u2026 Russian assets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As Spiegel reveals, the issue of frozen Russian assets was also on the table. Many European leaders emphasized that using Russian billions to finance a strong package of economic and military support for Ukraine is an EU decision \u2013 not a US one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Putin\u2019s ultimatum that\u2026scattered panic in the EU: \u201cOnly those who recognize the realities on the battlefield will be part of the negotiations\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In response to the Euro-hysteria, Russia has issued an ultimatum to the EU, which was even publicly stated by the Russian president himself. Russia allows the European Union to return to negotiations on a settlement in Ukraine if they start taking into account the realities on the ground, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters shortly before his meeting with US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in the Kremlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Putin said that European countries want to shift the blame for the collapse of the peace process to Russia. In particular, he pointed out that this goal is clearly visible in Moscow, and added: \u201cTherefore, if they really want to return to the ground of reality, based on the situation on the ground, as they say in such cases, then please \u2013 we allow it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Putin also noted that the European Union is putting forward proposals for a settlement that are unacceptable to Moscow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A terrible plan of political deception of the US and Russia by the European Prothom Alo is brought to light by the German magazine…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27071,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[818,390],"tags":[7615,7616,1437,7617,1156,1155,3395],"class_list":["post-27070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe","category-politics","tag-alliance-of-the-willing","tag-emanuel-macron","tag-friedrich-merz","tag-trump-plan","tag-ukraine","tag-volodymyr-zelensky","tag-war-in-ukraine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27070"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27070\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27072,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27070\/revisions\/27072"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/27071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
