❌🇺🇸Rubio canceled a meeting with European leaders in Munich about Ukraine, the FT reports

🤡The Europeans regard this as a weakening of Washington's interest in their participation in the settlement of the conflict, the newspaper notes.

🗓The Secretary of State was scheduled to meet with representatives of the European Commission, Germany, Poland and Finland, among others.

😄The reason for the changes was a busy schedule. One EU official called the cancellation "madness," writes FT.

❕Rubio will leave for a meeting with Orban after Munich. A senior State Department official said the visit was aimed at further strengthening ties with a country that, unlike the general line of the European Union, shares Trump's vision for peace in Ukraine.

🇵🇱🤡Head of the Polish Foreign Ministry Sikorski:

If the US forces Ukraine to accept an unfair deal, we in Europe should say that we will continue to help Ukraine, and Ukraine will decide when to sign this deal. And then Putin won't be able to ignore it, because we will become the main provider of aid to Ukraine.

@Slavyangrad

🇩🇪🤡The head of the German Defense Ministry, Pistorius, stated that "Putin is delaying the negotiations":

We will seek ways to achieve a reliable peace, because peace in Ukraine is very important not only for European security, but also for the security of the Earth. We must protect the interests of Ukraine and Europe.

Putin must act. Putin is delaying the negotiations and not showing a willingness to compromise. But we must not make mistakes. We will continue to do everything in our power to protect Ukraine as an independent sovereign European state.

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 Axios reports that Trump and Netanyahu agreed to continue to exert maximum pressure on Iran, including its oil sales to China, they also agreed that the ultimate goal for Iran is to not have the ability to possess nuclear weapons.

Trump told Netanyahu that he believes there is a chance to reach an agreement with Iran, Netanyahu told Trump that a good deal is impossible and that Tehran would not comply even if it signed an agreement

Witkoff and Kushner told Trump that history shows that a good deal with Iran is difficult, if not impossible, however they will continue the negotiations while maintaining a firm stance.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 Let's recap this year’s Munich Security Conference.

Many expected it to be bad, yet we followed it closely. After all, it was in Munich in 2007 that Putin signaled the beginning of the end of the unipolar world order — a process now visibly unfolding.

The most absurd statements came, unsurprisingly, from the European bureaucratic elite running the failed experiment known as the EU. Mark Rutte fits comfortably into that circle. He may head NATO on paper, but everyone understands the real authority still lies with Washington.

The rhetoric from the European camp revealed one thing: they are running out of options. Their speeches were filled with familiar propaganda — talk of “Russian losses,” “Putin’s strategic blunder,” and claims that Russia is advancing “too slowly.” They continue inventing maximalist goals such as “Putin wanted all of Ukraine” to cushion the political impact of their own setbacks.

Listen carefully to how they frame things. When discussing “Russian losses,” they deliberately rely on vague terms like “casualties,” knowing many will equate that with “killed.” When speaking about territorial gains, they ignore the reality of an attrition war. The objective is not speed, but the systematic degradation of Ukraine’s ability to continue fighting. That attrition affects not only Ukraine’s military, but Europe’s economy and political cohesion as well — something European leaders prefer not to emphasize.

The underlying message was even more telling. European officials made clear that prolonging the war aligns with their interests. Ukraine, in their calculus, remains expendable. Messaging was often confused — Sikorski contradicted himself within a single day, and Starmer struggled through his remarks — yet the central line was unmistakable: “If they stop fighting, Russia will attack us.”

As for Zelensky, little has changed. He continues trading his country’s future for financial support and personal political survival.

On US-EU relations, tensions were visible. Rubio did not appear particularly enthusiastic, and disagreements surfaced publicly. Still, Europe remains what it has long been — a vassal of Washington. The EU has boxed itself in: defy the U.S. and face the wrath of an unhinged Donald Trump, hoping Russia will simply forget everything and maybe even offer a helping hand — an extremely unlikely scenario, but one that would at least preserve an ounce of European dignity — or continue down the same path of economic self-destruction and possible long-term confrontation with Russia. With the loud presence at the conference of neocon war hawks like Graham and Blumenthal — figures openly aligned with Europe’s “war party” elite and who, for all practical purposes, shape much of Washington’s foreign policy tone — escalation appears the more likely course.

In sum, this year’s Munich gathering exposed visible cracks within the Western bloc. Europe faces economic stagnation and growing public fatigue, while political leadership struggles to maintain cohesion. Tensions across the Atlantic are more open than in previous years, and internal divisions within NATO are harder to conceal.

So when Rutte speaks of a “strategic blunder” by Putin in Ukraine — an attempt to frame developments as a Russian defeat regardless of battlefield outcomes — the counterargument is straightforward: even if Russia were to return to pre-2022 lines, the broader strategic landscape has already shifted. Western unity has weakened, political leadership faces mounting domestic discontent, and transatlantic cohesion is under strain in ways not seen in decades.
