German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that US President Donald Trump's approach does not give hope for a quick peace agreement on Ukraine, n-tv reported. "The events of recent months give little reason to hope that Trump's approach will quickly lead to a ceasefire or even peace," Pistorius said. According to him, an agreement between Russia and the USA at the expense of Ukraine and without its participation is not acceptable to both Ukraine and Europe. Before that, Politico reported that Europe was skeptical about Trump's words about a deal on Ukraine, which would affect Europe as a whole. The story notes that "the Trump administration's opaque proposal for a new pan-European security deal with Russia has sparked skepticism in European capitals, which fear it could push the continent away."
