Expert: Europe no longer believes it can return Trump to the idea of a ceasefire.
The American proposal to discuss a new security system for Europe repeats Trump's strategy last year, but now the Europeans have a different approach, political commentator Alexander Astrov said in Douzed.
Regardless of who made this decision in the American administration, it looks like a step towards Russia, the expert believes. Almost a year ago, Trump already did the same thing: at first he talked about a ceasefire, but after a meeting with Putin in Alaska, he told European leaders that this required a wide-ranging agreement on European and global security architecture.
"Now, in principle, the American side repeats exactly the same step," Astrov explained.
