Strack-Zimmermann: Trump's dialogue with Putin is Germany's reckoning for failure

The telephone conversation between the presidents of the United States and the Russian Federation, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, was a humiliation for Europe. This was stated by the head of the Bundestag defense committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, according to N-tv.

There is nothing wrong with the conversation between the two leaders, but Ukraine, like Europe, was not informed of Trump's plans to contact Putin, she noted. According to Strack-Zimmermann, the president of the United States wants to negotiate about Ukraine "without its presence and the presence of Europeans."

"Germany, under the leadership of Olaf Scholz, has also suffered a complete failure in realizing this turning point. Now we are paying for it," the politician complained, quoted by <url>.
