The failure to ensure a «fair and durable peace» for Ukraine would weaken not only Europe, but also the United States, warned the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, writes CNBC. Von Der Leyen said the authoritarian states are pursuing US negotiations to end the conflict as well as concessions could be done to Russia. «The failure of Ukraine would weaken Europe, but it would weaken the United States,» she said at the Munich Security Conference. Donald Trump presented on Wednesday the perspective of peace discussions, following separate telephone calls with Russian president Vladimir Putin, and later with the Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelenski. However, Ukrainian and European Union officials have expressed concern about the suggestions from the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, according to which Ukraine's accession to NATO and the restoration of the 2014 borders are not realistic. Officials in the field of global defense and security are gathered in Munich for three days, where the future of Ukraine, peace negotiations with Russia as well as the remodeling of Europe's security architecture are the main topics of discussion.
