Trump’s Russia-Ukraine policy hangs over EU-India talks

The Hindu  

Stung by the shifts in U.S. foreign policy, particularly on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the two-day visit by the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and 21 EU Commissioners beginning Thursday will send the message that Europe is shoring up other partners, including India, as much as they focus on the task of resetting EU-India ties. “A new push for greater cooperation, to be clear, was already identified and planned quite a while ago,” an EU official said, adding, “But the timing of this visit is, of course, particularly interesting given the global developments that we are facing.” The European delegation comes just after the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which was marked by a moment of solidarity with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and the presence of more than a dozen European and Western leaders, including Ms. von der Leyen, in Kyiv for commemorative ceremonies. Their meetings with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and many members of the Union Cabinet will coincide with Mr. Zelenskyy’s travel to Washington to sign a “mineral deal” and discuss a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire proposal with Mr. Trump, seen as a significant climbdown by the Ukrainian President, even after Mr. Trump called him a “dictator” with “4% approval ratings”. This will be followed by bilateral meetings between EU Commissioners and Indian Ministers, a plenary with Mr. Modi, Ms. von der Leyen and their Cabinets, as well as meetings with key Indian industry leaders.
