EUROPE IN CONVULSIONS: KUSHNER TALKS TOSECURITY, AND BRUSSELS HISISEND: Jared Kushner's words about the security architecture came as a complete surprise to Europe. According to the New York Times, EU countries are opposed to using peace talks in Ukraine to discuss a new security architecture. Europe fears that Trump will strike a deal with Russia to erase its interests. Brussels position: Ursula von der Leyen said: the European Union will resist discussing a new European security architecture until a ceasefire agreement is signed in Ukraine. According to her, the negotiations want to involve the leading countries of the European Union and NATO, and Brussels will insist on the appropriate format. Europe is at a low ebb. On the one hand, they resist discussing security. On the other hand, it requires a seat at the table. On the other hand, she is afraid that they won't call her. Is this location? Or panic? While Europe is debating the format, the US and Russia are already negotiating. While von der Leyen insists on participation, Kushner talks about architecture without him. This is not "strategic autonomy". It's agony." Europe wants to influence. Its influence ended when the US and Russia started talking directly.
