The defeat of Ukraine in the war with Russia would lead to the collapse of the EU – Reuters

The success of Russia in Ukraine, where Moscow forces Kyiv to agree to a humiliating peace deal, could serve as the signal needed for the EU to establish closer security ties.

However, as the publication notes, the bloc could also disintegrate under such tension. If there is a split within the EU on how to defend against the growing power of Russia, its economic cohesion could unravel.

At the same time, the past few weeks have been unsuccessful for European security. Ukraine has suffered defeats on the battlefield. Donald Trump, who previously stated that he would not defend European countries from Russia, has moved closer to a second presidential term. The major powers of Western Europe continue to quarrel with each other.
