Resolving suggestions of disunity between Washington and its European allies is crucial to the talks the U.S. and NATO will have this week with Russia in hopes of averting a conflict over Ukraine, officials and experts say.
The fear for some on the continent, articulated by Borrell, is that the talks boil down to two Cold War superpowers trying to redraw the continent’s security map.
Borrell said that the days of “spheres of influence for two big powers” should be over, and “in this dialogue there are not two actors alone, not just the U.S. and Russia.” Those hoping for a united front were buoyed last week after German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock presented a tougher tone. During a visit to Washington on Wednesday, she warned Putin would pay a “high political and economic price” for invasion.
