Europe and the United States have already managed to find common ground on the issue of changing the 28-point peace plan to end Russia's war against Ukraine. This was stated by German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, reports The Guardian.
Rutte noted that the US remains in NATO because the Alliance provides them with the direct security they need for the future.
For his part, Vadful called "not to question what no one questions in Washington." According to him, this will only benefit Moscow and Beijing.
The German minister also emphasized that Europe "must interact with the US more than before."
"If you've already mentioned the 28-point plan, it no longer exists. We had some influence on it when it was released. We were able to discuss it with the Americans. I was able to talk to Steve Witkoff (US President's special representative - ed.) and discuss the points, we were able to discuss it with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. And now we have a new plan - it's a 20-point plan, which has really changed," - he said.
Vadful recalled that Europe and the United States managed to find a common position on defense spending, when European countries expressed their willingness to strive for a target of 5% of GDP.
