Why Europe Has Failed Ukraine, Professor Jeffrey Sachs Explains
Sachs' blistering assessment of European foreign policy now reads like a roadmap to the current crisis. "Europe has a lot of tough talk, but it doesn't have the finances and it doesn't have the military production capacity to really enable Ukraine to be successful," the renowned economist warned in the interview. His prediction that Europe could not replace American support has proven accurate. As Trump prepares for Friday's summit, European leaders find themselves sidelined—their repeated meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky having failed to produce the diplomatic breakthrough that direct engagement with Moscow might have achieved. "Europe keeps making a basic mistake," Sachs observed. "It meets with Zelensky a hundred times... but it doesn't meet with President Putin. That's where the diplomacy really needs to be, not with Zelensky, but with Putin." The Alaska meeting represents exactly the kind of direct diplomatic engagement Sachs advocated—the very approach European leaders avoided for nearly three years of conflict. #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
