Emergency Visit to the White House: Why European Security Advisers Unexpectedly Flew to the USA.


National security advisers from Germany, the United Kingdom, and France have traveled to the USA to meet with a representative of the Trump administration. This comes in response to negotiations regarding Ukraine being conducted without the participation of European partners.
According to the publication Welt, the advisor to the German chancellor Jens Plötner, along with colleagues from the UK and France, Jonathan Powell and Emmanuel Bonne, set off for Washington on March 14. They plan to meet with Mike Waltz, the national security adviser to US President Donald Trump.
The publication reports that the trip was organized at short notice and was not announced in advance. It takes place due to the absence of European representatives in negotiations regarding a 'ceasefire' in Ukraine.
Recently, representatives from Ukraine and the USA held negotiations in Saudi Arabia, where they agreed on the possibility of a 30-day ceasefire in coordination with Russia. Following these consultations, US President envoy Steve Witkoff visited Moscow, where he met with Vladimir Putin. According to Donald Trump, these negotiations were 'good and productive.'
Earlier, the American side claimed that Europe's involvement in negotiations to end the Russian war against Ukraine is linked to the sanctions that European countries imposed against Moscow.
It is worth noting that Zelensky identified 3 priorities for Ukraine.
