The world, especially Europe, has been stunned by recent developments, particularly the intense debate within the White House between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, US President Donald Trump and US Vice-President J.D.

Trump has framed Ukraine as the cause of the conflict and suggested that Nato, the transatlantic military alliance, was to blame for provoking Russia. This has completely disrupted the Western consensus on supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
