Overview

  • ZDF’s Maybrit Illner retitled its program to "Trump and Europe against Putin" after same-day developments and centered the debate on Ukraine’s chances.
  • The discussion followed President Trump’s statement that he canceled a planned meeting with Vladimir Putin and U.S. plans to sanction major Russian oil firms.
  • The European Union advanced another sanctions package against Moscow, a move guests and reviewers framed as part of a rare transatlantic convergence.
  • Panelists dissected an EU proposal to back a roughly €140 billion reparations-style bond with frozen Russian state assets, with one MEP saying she expects disbursement could start in December.
  • Legal and strategic skeptics on the show warned Europe lacks decisive leverage without U.S. military capabilities and that any apparent shift could prove short-lived.
