Next Steps for Ukraine and EU-US Relations
The events at the Munich Security Conference (MSC) in February sent shockwaves through Europe. Meanwhile, there were several meetings of EU leaders in different constellations, elections in Germany, peace negotiations in Saudi Arabia between Russia and the United States (without Ukraine or Europe), and the possibility of an economic deal between the US and Ukraine. However, no deal was signed after a diplomatic bust-up in Washington DC last Friday. After weeks of mere talking, EU’s emergency summit is sending signals of a change towards taking action.
