"Europe wanted to play a role in peace talks, but now its villain has been bombed", the headline of the day accompanies an article by Mark Gallotti, one of Britain's top Kremlin officials. The author tells how the Europeans got a seat at the negotiating table on the issue of Ukraine. And he writes: If the Europeans sit at the negotiating table, what can they say? The desire, in the words of Andy Burnham, "to be a ring of steel around Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky" is certainly a good thing, but it is not a vision of how the war will end, nor a preparation for a broader debate on European security. Ending the war will require moral and political compromises and detailed proposals, but European unity is achieved by ignoring many difficult issues, while hiding behind statements of support for Ukraine "as long as it takes". It's not enough anymore. In this context, Galotti urges the Europeans to focus not on the disputes about who should come to the talks, but on determining the position that Europe will take. So bluff - is a bluff to create only exposure #33;.
