Summary
Germany’s defense minister, Boris Pistorius, criticized the U.S. for making concessions to Russia before peace talks, particularly ruling out NATO membership for Ukraine and accepting territorial losses.
His concerns were echoed by France’s defense minister, Sébastien Lecornu.
Trump’s recent call with Putin sparked European opposition, with key nations reaffirming their support for Ukraine’s sovereignty.
The Kremlin welcomed Trump’s stance, while Ukraine maintained its NATO aspirations.
