As discussions surrounding the U.S. stance on Ukraine escalate, European allies are contemplating their next steps. A Bundestag member emphasized that Ukraine and Europe must reject any capitulation plans proposed by Trump, while some European nations are urging Ukraine to consider concessions amid fears of U.S. withdrawal. Experts suggest that Ukraine must hold out for a year in anticipation of U.S. negotiations. In the midst of these tensions, a NATO country plans to send troops to Ukraine for training, which Russia has threatened to consider legitimate targets. The question remains: how will Europe navigate its security responsibilities if the U.S. decides to step back?
