There is a ”Baltic group” within EU, consisting of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Finland, Denmark. Denmark is now chairing this group, Denmarks PM, Mette Fredriksen represented all of this group in the French talks. (I’m not sure about Norway in this case)

Yes. They need to get their seat at the table.

No decision will be made until German elections are over. We have to wait a bit.There might be some directional movement after Starmer meets Trump this week.

One thing that might move (faster) is the decision to ramp up aid for Ukraine. I think that is extremely critical now as a big package can throw a huge wrench into Trump-Putin plan to eat Ukraine between themselves.

Particularly if they implement a process of inspecting all ships leaving Russian Baltic ports.

Джей Ди Вэнс поддерживает не консерваторов в Европе, а только тех ультраправых, которые, как много раз было показано, финансируются и продвигаются Россией и российской пропагандой? Все эти партии требуют немедленного снятия санкций с России и прекращения поддержки Украины. Вот почему немцам нужно пойти и проголосовать за любую другую партию, кроме нацистов из AfD. Джей Ди + Трамп + Маск делают это в полной координации с Москвой.

Сразу после выборов в Германии, где Маск продвигает AfD, он начнет полномасштабное распространение фейков и лжи об Украине и Зеленском, как дополнительный рычаг, чтобы заставить их уступить Москве. Пожалуйста, если вы знаете немцев, скажите им, идите и голосуйте! Чтобы ни одна AfD не получила власть!

I am surprised the Baltics and Finland were not included.

Thank you for providing balance to the typical coverage. I’m afraid it is typical for most MSM reporting to push the bad in order to stir up everyone.

Excellent take on reality. Agree the western media, especially in the US have for too long overemphasized the negative. So much so that the US population was hearing "Wolf" so often they stopped listening. Then, when the hyenas came, no one was paying attention.

I completely agree the EU must mobilize now, either whole or in part. There's nothing wrong with a coalition of the willing. Ukraine has a large army that is at the bleeding edge of current battlefield technology and capacity. If EU nations can just send their troops to act in support positions initially, learning what Ukraine has learned, Putin's costs will only ratchet higher, Trump can be sidelined - as far as that goes - and Ukrainians will finally be able to fight Russia the way they need to.

Such moves can even cause the Trump-Putin alliance to fail to form, allowing Ukraine and the "EU" coalition a seat at any table where the war's conclusion is being negotiated.
