Poland’s Undersecretary of State Michal Baranowski delivered a forceful message during talks with EU partners, insisting that Europe—not the United States—holds decisive leverage in shaping any future peace deal for Ukraine. Speaking ahead of key discussions with France on the Mercosur agreement, Baranowski argued that Europe is the largest financial and military supporter of Kyiv, making its involvement indispensable in any settlement. He dismissed the idea that EU nations are constrained by Washington, stressing that a stable peace is impossible without Europe’s direct role. His remarks come as Brussels watches developments in Geneva and debates deepen over Europe’s influence, dependency on the US, and the bloc’s fractured stance on global trade agreements.
