Ukraine war is existential, Europe will step in to support if U.S. withdraws: Estonia MFA Secretary-General

The Hindu  

As Europe attempts to build a “coalition of the willing” to support Ukraine, it is eyeing the outcome of the Trump-Putin talks held on Tuesday nervously. Speaking to The Hindu on the side-lines of the Raisina Dialogue in Delhi, Estonian Foreign Ministry’s Secretary-General Jonatan Vseviov says for countries in Europe, especially those bordering Russia, the situation is “existential”, and while European Union still hopes the U.S. will re-align with them, are preparing for their own defences. For the last few years, we’ve seen European countries, Estonia included, coming to the Raisina dialogue, and trying to get India to change its position on Ukraine, for India to cut off its oil from Russia, and to put more pressure on Mr. Putin to end the war. We’re asking for India to use its powerful voice in upholding India’s interest, in a rules based world, and in the United Nations principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty. In what way can Europe change the course of a war that could not be changed with the might of the U.S. power behind Ukraine for the last three years?
