U.S. Shames Europeans On Their Own Turf; Rubio SKIPS Ukraine Meeting In Blow To Zelensky From Munich

Описание: Diplomatic tremors at the Munich Security Conference after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio abruptly skipped a high-level Ukraine meeting “at the last minute” on February 13, according to a report by Financial Times. The so-called Berlin Format talks — attended by French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and top EU and NATO officials — were aimed at shaping Europe’s position ahead of ongoing U.S.-led negotiations on Ukraine. But Rubio’s sudden withdrawal, reportedly blamed on “scheduling conflicts,” sparked unease among Kyiv’s backers. European officials quoted by the FT described the absence as damaging, with one saying the meeting “lacked substance” without Washington’s top diplomat. The development comes at a sensitive moment, as transatlantic tensions simmer and European leaders push to “repair and revive” trust within NATO.
