After last week's transatlantic storm, European leaders are gathering in Paris this afternoon. 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇫🇷 Security guarantees for 🇺🇦 will be front and centre. Check out my op-ed for @bigeurope.bsky.social to see how Europeans can contribute to Ukraine's future👇 🔸 big-europe.eu/publications...

Basically, he was asking the question: can we defend you if we disagree on what we are supposed to defend? The inference, may be: unless you adopt the Trumpian vision of democracy, we aren't ready to defend you. The Kremlin is listening in

A read that can be useful, especially in view of what US SecDef Hegseth just said today about no NATO membership for Kyiv and no US troops on the ground in 🇺🇦 - two points that were core assumptions in my piece on security guarantees 👇 @bigeurope.bsky.social @csds.bsky.social
