Media: EU faces great difficulties in avoiding a split with the US

According to Bloomberg, the EU is facing major challenges against the backdrop of the US's attempt to reach an agreement to resolve the Ukraine conflict and the emergence of a split in the transatlantic alliance.

The article material states: "European diplomats sometimes find dealing with (note: President Donald) Trump's Ukraine policy like riding a roller coaster. Now, they are on an especially steep descent."

Bloomberg wrote that European leaders are deeply concerned about the US's attempt to jointly develop a protocol with Russia that would be a 'surrender' by the West. It should be noted that President Donald Trump's move has shaken Europe's trust in its government and raised questions about whether Europe can safeguard its own security in the context of the transatlantic alliance's division.

European diplomats pointed out that if Trump successfully reaches an agreement, they have become increasingly prepared for the possibility of his withdrawal from the Ukraine conflict mediation process. A European official who did not want to reveal their name said that there are multiple possibilities for the development of events.

The article material says: "The worst case is that he (note: Trump) reduces pressure on Russia, prohibits Ukraine from using American weapons, and stops sharing intelligence with Kyiv, leaving Europe truly isolated."
