I genuinely hope something will come out of this, but knowing the slowness and reactive approach of European institutions I don’t have any hope.
Rather than talk, it would make much more sense to hold a formal conference after achieving results in agreed upon behind the scenes negotiations. Something along the lines of:
Full blockage of occupied Königsberg. Banning of all russian traffic in the Baltic sea.
Immediate sanctions of EU company executives servicing the russian market in any capacity (they know the shipments to Kyrgyzstan aren’t actually going to Kyrgyzstan, they are not stupid).
Targetted massive ballistic strike (50+) on russia military and C2 installation in cooperation with Ukraine to give cover (perhaps even Lubyanka if it makes sense). Just lie and say it’s recently developed Ukrainian ballistics.
By this point it would make sense to at least send covert military personal into Europe, make it limited to AA coverage in Western/Central Ukraine if needed.
I recognize that this may sound unrealistic, but most (all?) geopolticial achievements/breakthroughs/realignments were done with courage and a desire to win. Not “bla bla” or “but what about this or that”.
