LONDON — European officials congratulated themselves after talks in Geneva at the weekend suggested Donald Trump will listen to their concerns about forcing a bad peace deal on Ukraine.
“While work remains to be done, there is now a solid basis for moving forward,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said as she hailed “good progress” resulting from “a strong European presence” at the talks.
It was certainly “progress” for top advisers from the EU and the U.K. to be invited to join Sunday’s meeting in Switzerland after they were cut out of America’s original 28-point plan, which they feared was so biased it would embolden Russia to launch further attacks.
