It seems to me that many have still not fully understood that Trump simply does not want to play the role that Europeans want him to play. He does not want to provide security guarantees for 🇺🇦, neither in the first nor in the second line. No 'strong US backing' will materialize.

In Germany, this is only slowly dawning on people. We need to link economic and security policy much more closely in our minds than we have done so far. It's good that we have such a report. Now we have to act on it.

In Bälde reist #Airbus-Chef Faury nach #Polen, und hofft dort auf einige Aufträge - u. a. für den A400M. Eine Einbindung Polens in den westeuropäischen Wehrkonzern wäre ein Fortschritt in Sachen europäischer Rüstung. www.lemonde.fr/economie/art...

La Pologne souhaite entrer au capital d’Airbus
Le PDG du groupe aéronautique devrait se rendre sous peu à Varsovie. Il espère une belle commande du pays, qui, très atlantiste, a jusqu’ici toujours préféré acheter américain.

It was a pleasure to host the future generation of French, German and Polish diplomats! Hope we injected some additional #WeimarTriangle spirit into the group. Thanks to @mprochwicz.bsky.social and Barbara Kunz @sipri.org for running through the turbulent last weeks for European security with me.

Polish FM Sikorski just said in Munich that Macron has invited European leaders to Paris tomorrow to discuss the evolving security situation and Ukraine talks. Wonder who will be at this table and can't help but think an emergency European Council should also happen next week.

JD Vance's speech at MSC likely signals that Trump will bring EU regulation on digital/US tech into play, as in: you want a seat at the table in Ukraine negotiations, US security protection & no tariff war, then relax your regulations on our social media & tech platforms

Domestically, Trump/Musk have a clear plan. It’s only a matter of how far they’ll go. Foreign policy wise, as the mixed messaging shows, the US admin doesn’t have a clear picture of what they want or how to get it. Europe can still shape the direction by setting terms and pushing back.

Lots of concern in EU capitals this eve. A sense Trump has given Putin a lot today - on substance (no NATO accession) & optics (symbolism of phone call at the same time as the UDCG meeting). Is this the beginning of a process where the EU's interests will now be jeopardised? That's the fear

Our very sobering article on European options in the face of a new US approach to Ukraine was published today. I couldn't think of a more appropriate timing. Thanks to @claudmajor.bsky.social for thinking things through with me again. ip-quarterly.com/en/europe-ne...

Europe Needs a Ukraine Strategy
The Trump administration is likely to change course on Ukraine. Their options limited, the Europeans need to prepare for “deal” and “no deal” scenarios.

With a clear message that you might call the Weimar+ formula: "Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations"

Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity are unconditional. Our priority must now be strengthening Ukraine and providing robust security guarantees. In any negotiation, Europe must have a central role. Our Weimar+ statement ↓
