The Trump administration is likely to change course on Ukraine. Their options limited, the Europeans need to prepare for “deal” and “no deal” scenarios.

Support for Ukraine seems to be declining. This makes the irrevocable integration of the country into Euro-Atlantic structures all the more important.

The government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz set out to define its foreign and security policy in “the European interest,” but has regularly failed to do so. It should change course now.

The German government’s main focus should be on the security of its Central and Eastern European allies—not consideration for Putin.
