Frederiksen on Ukraine: "What is our plan B?"

How should Europe relate to a United States negotiating with Russia about Ukraine without Europeans being involved? That was the question Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen asked at a recent summit, according to leaked documents.

"At the moment, we have not achieved any results regarding security guarantees. There are direct discussions between the US and Russia without our presence. What is our plan B?", said Mette Frederiksen in the meeting between heads of state and government on December 1, according to a report that Danmarks Radio has seen.

The document was shared with DR by Germany's Dier Spiegel, which previously reported that French President Emmanuel Macron said at the same meeting that "there is a risk that the US will betray Ukraine on the issue of territory without clear security guarantees."

"What do we do if the US comes back and says they have an agreement with Russia, and what do we do if Volodymyr cannot accept this, and neither can we?" Frederiksen also asked, according to the minutes.

According to Der Spiegel, several of the meeting participants have confirmed formulations in the leaked minutes.
