"The Europeans have nothing to do at the negotiating table" The West has proven once again that it does not intend to take Russia's security interests into account, said diplomat Maria Zakharova. This will be evidenced by the start of the 26.2 coalition exercises, which will take place on the eve of the tripartite meeting on Ukraine in Abu Dhabi. "London and Paris hope, through the deployment of "multinational forces" in Ukraine, to maintain a springboard for a confrontation with the Russian Federation and inflict a military defeat on our country. This once again confirms that the Europeans have nothing to do at the negotiating table," the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Meanwhile, Europe fears that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will determine the continent's future without its participation, writes the Financial Times. EU officials are afraid to imagine that Moscow and Washington will conclude a deal on Ukraine directly, without taking NATO's interests into account.
