What I want to say again in general about the talks is that there have indeed been many Europeans who complained,

Yes, why aren't we at the table too?

I just have to say,

Europe had its chance. Even under President Biden, exactly such processes

could have been initiated. The overall message was that we wouldn’t talk to Putin, we’d solve it militarily, we’d supply more weapons,

and then Ukraine would win.

And now President Trump is here, and of course he says, why should Europeans be at the table?

You haven’t wanted to talk up to now either. So we also have to note self-critically that European foreign policy

is not yet strong enough to truly dictate such terms on its own.
