An explosive leaked transcript from a secret call between top European leaders has exposed a disturbing plot to sabotage President Donald Trump’s efforts to strike a genuine peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
The leaked call reveals growing fear in the European Union (EU) that Trump is about to finally secure peace by bypassing Ukraine’s maximalist demands and sidelining President Volodymyr Zelensky.
French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly warned that the United States might “abandon Ukraine on territorial questions without providing clarity on security guarantees.”
The comments appeared in a “leaked” call summary published by German outlet Der Spiegel.
However, the leak looks far more like a deliberate shot across Washington’s bow than a genuine accident.
Macron later attempted to clean up the scandal, claiming he “did not use those words.”
Yet, the transcript tells a different story.
Europe is rattled, and for good reason.
Europeans Fear Trump’s Peace Plan Will End the War, and Their Influence
According to the leaked notes, Macron told other globalist leaders there was “a great danger” for Zelensky if the U.S. proceeded with negotiations that don’t align with Europe’s preferred outcome.
Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz echoed the alarm, warning Zelensky that “they are playing games with you and with us.”
Finland’s President Alexander Stubb was even more blunt:
“We must not leave Ukraine and Volodymyr alone with these people.”
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte agreed:
“We must protect Volodymyr.”
The tone is unmistakable as Europe fears Trump’s envoys are preparing to finalize a peace agreement that Kyiv and Brussels cannot control.
Trump’s Peace Envoys Trigger Panic Among EU Globalists
The transcript specifically references two top Trump allies deeply involved in negotiations: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
Both were in Moscow meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of efforts to advance Trump’s 28-point peace plan, or 19-point revised version.
While Europe’s political class is addicted to endless war funding and terrified of losing geopolitical relevance, the idea that American envoys are directly engaging both sides is heresy.
Politico, quoting the transcript, said Stubb cautioned:
“We cannot leave Ukraine and Volodymyr alone with these guys.”
Der Spiegel admitted the obvious fact that European leaders harbor “deep distrust” toward Kushner and Witkoff.
It is not because Trump’s envoys are incompetent, but because, unlike Brussels, they are actually trying to end the war.
One of the transcript’s co-authors, Michael Weiss, went so far as to frame U.S. peace efforts as “American dirty tricks to end the war.”
Apparently, ending a war is now a “dirty trick” if the plan doesn’t align with the EU’s globalist agenda.

Europe Wants Full Control Over Russian Assets
Another sore point emerged in the call as European leaders discussed frozen Russian assets stored in EU banks.
Europe sees the assets as exclusively its property.
However, new reporting suggests Washington, D.C., may be open to returning the seized assets to Russia as part of a final agreement.
This terrifies European leaders, who have increasingly treated the assets as a piggy bank for Ukraine’s long-term funding, even as their own economies stagnate.
Zelensky Tries to Downplay the Rift, But Reality Says Otherwise
Following reports of the leak, Zelensky’s office refused to confirm or deny the transcript.
An unnamed Ukrainian diplomat told Politico:
“Only the Russians benefit from any splits between Europe and America, so transatlantic unity must be maintained.”
But unity is already fractured.
Zelensky has repeatedly rejected any peace plan that includes territorial concessions, yet the Kremlin now demands full international recognition of Russian control over Donbass and Crimea, not just de facto control.
Europe knows this demand must be negotiated, but Zelensky refuses.
Nevertheless, the Trump administration appears ready to deal with reality, not fantasy.
Europe Fears Peace Will End Leverage
For nearly two years, Brussels has used the war to expand its geopolitical influence, justify massive spending, and push deeper integration under the EU’s banner.
A Trump-brokered peace threatens all of that.
So now European leaders are leaking phone calls to generate pressure and paint Trump’s envoys as villains.
But their panic reveals the truth:
Washington is finally taking the initiative.
A negotiated peace is on the table.
And European globalists, who prefer endless conflict over diplomatic compromise, are terrified of losing control.
