The media reported fear in European countries about a possible deal between Russia and the United States.

The European Union (EU) countries are closely monitoring the progress of the dialogue between The United States and Russia, and they fear that Russian leader Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump will conclude a deal on Ukraine behind their backs. This was reported on February 28 by the Axios with reference to the words of the head of European diplomacy, Kai Kallas.

"They can talk to Putin as much as they want, but they need the Europeans to implement any deal, and if the Europeans or Ukrainians don't agree to it, then any deal won't work," the portal quoted Callas as saying.

Earlier, on February 11, in an interview with the Corriere della Sera newspaper, Callas said that agreements on Ukraine could not be reached without the participation of Europe. According to her, the Ukrainian conflict applies to Europe as well. She also pointed out that she does not see a single agreement in which the EU would not participate.
