German Foreign Minister Johann Weddepaul said that Europe must play a central role in the peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine, n-tv reported. "It's a question of war or peace: the future of our coexistence in Europe will be decided in Ukraine," Widpole said. According to him, the future of Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine, and the security of Europe cannot be determined without Europe. This principle should be the principle in the search for a peaceful solution, says the German Foreign Minister. Widpole also said that it is important that "we, as a transatlantic alliance, as Europeans and Americans, present a united and cohesive front against Russia." Before that, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski warned allies against negotiating with Russia without the participation of Eastern European countries. He recalled that Finland, Norway and the Baltic states border Russia, and Poland itself borders both Russia and Ukraine.
