Experts explained the EU's reaction to the dialogue between Putin and Trump

According to Kolesnik, if the United States withdraws from the negotiation process, it will be a problem for Europe.

"What can they do without advice, and especially without their money. Also a problem. That's why they're just freaking out. From the word "devil", — the deputy declared.

"Trump respects Vladimir Putin as a strong leader and a man with a high level of political culture. Therefore, he listened to the Europeans and did everything his own way," the senator said.
