The week Europe realised it stands alone against Russian expansionism

The article discusses the growing rift between Europe and the US over the handling of the Ukraine crisis, with European leaders viewing Russia as an expansionist threat while US isolationists, including Trump, see Russia as a potential ally.

European leaders have responded by rejecting the plan and emphasizing the need for robust security guarantees to prevent further Russian aggression. The article highlights the challenges Europe faces in dealing with the crisis alone, as the US appears to be siding with Russia, undermining the transatlantic alliance and international law.
