Europe loses trust in Trump? EU trade commissioner sounds alarm as US fails to stop Russia's assault

Europe is on edge after Estonia accused Russian MiG jets of violating its airspace, sparking a dramatic call from EU Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis for urgent action. Speaking in Copenhagen, he warned that Europe must boost its defence autonomy, ramp up sanctions, and cut reliance on Russian energy. The EU’s 19th sanctions package now targets LNG, crypto platforms, and Russia’s shadow fleet. With €210 billion in frozen Russian assets, Brussels eyes reparations for Ukraine as tensions mount. But divisions remain inside the EU, with Hungary resisting energy bans and France opposing full asset seizures.
