‘The problem is the Europeans’ — Sonja van den Ende on Ukraine peace

Can Trump’s pressure on Zelensky move Ukraine peace talks forward? Independent Dutch journalist Sonja van den Ende argues European governments remain a major obstacle, accusing them of sustaining the conflict through weapons supplies and political support for Kiev.

She also discusses Ukrainian drone attacks during Steve Witkoff’s diplomatic visit, the Russia–US diesel deal and why she believes Washington must pursue peace with Iran to address the fuel crisis.
