Editorial: El País

• Trump's strategy to end the war in Ukraine indicates that Europe cannot rely on its transatlantic relationship with the United States for security.
• Trump has dismissed European allies and worse, Ukraine itself.
• The EU should not depend on the US for its defense or automatically submit to its political changes.
• The EU urgently needs its own plan, and decisions cannot be sabotaged by illiberal governments.
• It is essential to recognise and address the great humanitarian damage caused by Russian aggression in Ukraine.
• Europe must fully support Ukraine and recognise its sovereignty.
• Europe cannot tolerate the territorial mutilation of a sovereign country.
• Russia has no intention of stopping the war, and a unified and coordinated response is needed in Europe.

Conclusion: Europe needs to build its independence from US policies, strengthen its unity, and take robust coordinated actions to support Ukraine against Russian aggression.
