The geopolitical landscape of Europe is undergoing a historic and unsettling transformation as the United States reduces its military presence across NATO's eastern flank. With Washington pivoting toward Asia and deepening diplomatic outreach to Moscow, frontline European states are confronting the possibility of facing Russia with limited U.S. backing.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warns that Moscow is testing the West's resolve, while German intelligence issues its most serious alert yet, projecting that Russia could prepare for conflict with NATO by 2029.

President Donald Trump's top officials met with a team of Ukrainian negotiators in Florida on Sunday. Trump has been trying to broker an end to the war in Ukraine since he took office. On the U.S. side, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was at the table for the talks along with Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, and the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Witkoff had worked on a 28-point peace plan criticized as being too favorable to Russia. The talks come after the recent resignation of Andrii Yermak as chief of staff to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Witkoff is expected to meet later this week in Moscow with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

The EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, warned that Russia must reduce its military power and make serious concessions to achieve a "just and lasting peace" in Ukraine.
"In any peace agreement, we have to put the focus on how to get concessions from the Russian side, that they stop aggression for good and do not try to change borders by force," Kallas said after an extraordinary meeting of EU foreign ministers.
"We have one aggressor and one victim. The focus should be on what Russia, the aggressor, must do, not on what Ukraine, the victim, must sacrifice," she added.
