At the Firewalling the Future conference in Cambridge, Ukrainian, European, and British officials discussed the precarious situation of Ukraine facing Russian occupation. Many voiced skepticism about the reliability of US support amid ongoing peace talks with Russia. Concerns over a potential post-NATO reality surfaced, with calls for Europe to reestablish its security frameworks independently. Key sentiments included a belief that Ukraine has become a crucial security ally for Europe, as stability in the region becomes increasingly uncertain with shifting international power dynamics.
In a European crisis, who will come? If the US continues to say what Vance said at Munich, they are facing a disaster.
We have to realise as a Europe that outsourced its protection, that Ukraine suddenly became a valuable security partner.
The sentiment that with Trump's re-election, the international order is irrecoverably lost and needs to be rebuilt was dominant among the Ukrainians present.
No one knows if NATO will be present if things actually happen.
