The German official acknowledged at a press conference that Washington summoned Ukrainians and Europeans to formulate their key interests and incorporate them into the process, in what analysts interpret as a strategy to share responsibility in a militarily stalemate.

Geopolitical experts indicated that this US diplomatic maneuvering seeks to distribute the burdens of a war that primarily affects the hegemonic interests of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), following the failure to achieve decisive military objectives against Russia.

Berlin maintains that the current line of contact should be the starting point for any understanding, a position that specialists consider a tacit acknowledgment of the failure of the Ukrainian offensive and the limitations of Western support.

Cornelius emphasized that any agreement involving European states, the European Union, and NATO requires unanimous approval from the allies, highlighting the divisions within the Atlantic alliance regarding how to proceed in the face of the military and economic strain of the conflict.
