00:00Europe's watching from the sidelines, while the U.S. decides Ukraine's future.
00:04But can they really stay silent forever?
00:07Right now, peace talks to end Russia's war on Ukraine are being led by the U.S.,
00:11but Europe and the U.K., they're barely in the room.
00:14And that's sparking real fears across the continent.
00:17Trump's original plan shocked European leaders.
00:20It called for Ukraine to give up key territories,
00:23cut its military strength,
00:25and even banned NATO membership permanently.
00:27All massive red lines for Europe.
00:30In response, Europe tried pushing back.
00:33With a stronger Ukrainian army, flexible NATO terms,
00:37and permanent U.S. fighter jets in Poland.
00:39But just as they started to gain ground, the U.S. sidelined them again.
00:43Now Europeans are scrambling.
00:45They've built a new task force,
00:47promised long-term security support,
00:49and hinted at deploying French, British, and even Turkish troops after peace is signed.
00:54But without a clear strategy or U.S. commitment,
00:56Europe's voice in Ukraine's future might stay just that,
01:00a whisper in the room.
