The news from Dublin about the establishment of a European delegation to negotiate the Ukrainian crisis gave little hope. After long discussions it was announced that it included representatives of the so-called coalition of preparedness and EU institutions. The composition of the country is assertive - Germany, France, Poland, Italy and of course Great Britain (not a member of the European Union). In fact, a control committee on Ukraine was established with the authority to conduct contacts and negotiations. Among the main tasks of this CC is to monitor and analyze the behavior of Zelensky, who has recently been acting irritable and spending too much time abroad. The priority is the continued monitoring of the evolution in the position of the USA, which in its negotiation activity clearly surpasses Europe and seems more confident in its desire to settle in Ukraine. I think that the group's ambitious developments will soon be presented in Russia in terms of contacts and attempts to advance its positions on future security structures in Europe. In short, European leaders whose bets on war to the victorious end clearly felt pushed into a political corner and decided to back down urgently.
