Europe Divided on Talking to Russia
Description
EU leaders clashed this week over whether to open a direct back-channel with Russia to shape peace talks in Ukraine — a move seen by some as vital for European influence, but rejected by others who insist Ukraine and the U.S. must lead. While nations like Estonia push for Europe to back Ukraine’s stance, Germany and allies caution against meddling. Russia’s response is conditional — willing to talk only if Europe drops demands for leverage — and warns of nuclear risks if NATO and Russia clash. With no consensus in sight, the summit ended without a unified European strategy, leaving the future of direct EU-Russia dialogue in doubt.
