Top Polish Football Team Loses 3:0, but Poland Scores Points with New German Government
14 April 2025
A day after European leaders’ summit in Paris and with US-Russia bilateral talks about to start, Europe is working to define its role in shaping Ukraine’s future. Divisions in the bloc over military commitments persist, but there is growing consensus on boosting defence spending and getting Ukraine a seat at the table.
The United States is meeting with Russia in Riyadh today to discuss a potential peace deal for Ukraine, prompting alarm among European leaders who fear being sidelined in shaping Ukraine’s – and Europe’s – future.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov have travelled to the Saudi capital for talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff.
The talks follow a phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, in which both sides agreed to push for negotiations to end the war, now approaching its third anniversary.
Despite repeated assurances that Europe will remain involved, many EU leaders see today’s meeting as another sign that Washington is shifting its approach. While Ukraine has insisted that any settlement must be negotiated ‘from a position of strength,’ it remains unclear what role Kyiv will play in the process.
