Ukraine: Europe’s closest ally is in bed with its worst enemy. Now what?

CNN  

London CNN — How did things get so bad, so fast? “But what do you do when your closest ally gets into bed with your worst enemy?” Boots on the ground Europe expected Trump to be less interested in Ukraine’s fight for sovereignty than the previous Biden administration, but it wasn’t primed for a break-up so sudden, unequivocal and bitter. Importantly, Poland – which boasts NATO’s largest military in Europe and is a significant player in Ukraine – is reluctant, fearing it would make its own borders more vulnerable. Russia’s war has already limited Germany’s voice in Europe on defense issues – Berlin spent decades forging closer economic ties with Moscow, despite Poland’s protestations – and Merz will struggle to regain it. But losing American contributions would be a big blow: the official said there is a “difference in quality” between America’s supplies and Europe’s.
