US-Ukraine-European leaders' mtg is still ongoing, so any outcomes TBC. But Kyiv & EU already sent a clear message to both Trump & Russia: #Ukraine is not alone and Europe is serious about own responsibility for how the war ends & how security in #Europe is ensured.

These guys just called POTUS from their trip to Kyjiw.

Two days after VE-Day, one day after the revisionist cult of violence in Moscow.

An NEW EUROPE is taking shape, including UK and UA!

Very good. It is not all doom and gloom!

Meanwhile in other news, Macron’s new chief of staff, Emmanuel Moulin (ex Attal, Le Maire, Sarkozy) takes over from the all-powerful Alexis Kohler on April 15.

This means that the French president, his chief of staff and his top diplomatic adviser will all be called Emmanuel

🇫🇷‼️ Marine Le pen banned from seeking election with immediate effect but length of ban still to be announced

🇫🇷‼️ Le Pen & 8 other Far Right politicians have just been found guilty by a Paris court of embezzling money from 🇪🇺 by employing fake assistants in European Parliament up to 2017. This was expected. The penalties, including a possible ban from electoral politics for Le Pen, will be announced shortly

In Europe, to be able to properly explain why enlargement is important for the #EU, member states first need to be on the same page. But instead, there are disagreements.

We have to be on the same page — @engjellushem.bsky.social, Senior Research Fellow, @ecfr.eu

Trump is not a strongman—he’s weak when facing hostile authoritarians. His latest call was sycophantic, offering major giveaways before negotiations even begin. #MC2025 must be the beginning of a European riposte to Trump’s Munich. @fromtga.bsky.social 📝
Trump’s senseless capitulation to Putin is a betrayal of Ukraine—and terrible dealmaking
As the US and its European allies head to the Munich security conference, Europe must learn from its tragic history and oppose appeasement

How does one account for that contradiction? Is he ignorant? Is he getting back advice? Or is he rather driven by vandalism toward the European project? So many questions, some of them answered in most recent piece. www.persuasion.community/p/trumps-ana... /2

Serbia’s Vucic has neither cultivated strong relations with the EU nor Russia, both of which questioned Serbia’s reliability as a partner long before the protests broke out.
Student-led protestors don’t even want to talk to Vucic as they see him not credible.
Something has to give!
