Europe’s desperate bid to shape Ukraine’s Trump deal in Munich

17/02/2025

Podcast by Charles Cohen, Giada Santana, Miriam Sáenz de Tejada

Last weekend, Munich hosted the world’s premier geopolitical forum amid shifting alliances and rising tensions across country lines. In the Bavarian capital leaders convened to debate on everything from global governance to climate security.  But the real question for Europeans remains how the ongoing war in Ukraine will end, and on whose terms after Trump held a “lengthy and productive” call with Putin last week.  

 

Will Europe play a role in shaping the outcome, or will it be forced to accept a deal dictated by Washington?  

 

In this episode, producer Charles Cohen and Chief Diplomatic Correspondent Alexandra Brzozowski go through highlights and lowlights from the Munich Security Conference.
