France also criticises Trump’s approach to ending war, resting on Kyiv forfeiting territory and Nato membership

Summary

Germany’s defense minister, Boris Pistorius, criticized the U.S. for making concessions to Russia before peace talks, particularly ruling out NATO membership for Ukraine and accepting territorial losses.

His concerns were echoed by France’s defense minister, Sébastien Lecornu.

Trump’s recent call with Putin sparked European opposition, with key nations reaffirming their support for Ukraine’s sovereignty.

The Kremlin welcomed Trump’s stance, while Ukraine maintained its NATO aspirations.

      You don’t need to go back that far. It literally happened when they let Russia take Crimea in 2014. You let them take Luhansk and Kherson now, and they’ll be taking Odesa and Dnipro by 2034.

      It’s going to take someone to stop them though, which there doesn’t appear to be anyone willing at the moment.
