Abstract
Donald J. Trump's return to the White House has focused the minds of European leaders who are seeking to accelerate Europe's diversification of energy supplies away from Russia. So far, this has not lead to a radical overhaul to what Europe's future relationship with Russia might or should be. Russia and the EU both remain entrenched in their own positions, just like they were during the Biden administration. As regards Europe, two initiative are gaining momentum (Readiness 2030 e a post-Brexit reset with the UK), whereas Russia keeps staying the course in its grinding war on Ukraine, convinced as it is that it will outlive both Ukraine's desire and capability to fight and western resolve.
