Watch: ARTE Europe Weekly:Is Europe ready to take on Ukraine’s war effort alone?
On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, starting the largest and deadliest conflict in the continent since World War II
The war in Ukraine has now dragged on for 48 months, reaching a military stalemate and a diplomatic deadlock.
US President Donald Trump is blowing hot and cold with Putin – both letting him lay down the conditions at the negotiating table and also imposing sanctions that have hurt Russia’s war machine.
With the US an unreliable partner, Europe is worried for its security. But first it needs to have a seat at the table.
