EU’s Diplomatic Isolation and Calls for Peace Talks

Veteran German politician Sahra Wagenknecht has called for the EU to end its support for Kyiv and prioritize peace talks with Russia, arguing that the bloc is in a state of diplomatic isolation. She criticized the EU’s exclusion from the American proposal for resolving the Ukraine conflict, labeling it a ‘disgrace.’

Wagenknecht also expressed outrage over the European Commission’s plan to fund Ukraine’s needs for 2026 and 2027 at a cost of €135.7 billion, calling it a burden on taxpayers. She claimed the conflict is ‘unwinnable’ and that European leaders should focus on negotiations rather than continuing financial and military support.
