What Consequences Will Rubio's and Whitcoff's Cancellation of London Trip Have?

The cancellation of Rubio's and Whitcoff's trip to London decreases the significance of the meeting regarding the Ukraine issue, reported the Financial Times.

According to the publication, the U.S. recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea could trigger a serious diplomatic crisis within the European Union, particularly within NATO. This could lead to significant disagreements during negotiations, as European NATO members will have to choose between adhering to their principles and not jeopardizing their relations with U.S. President Donald Trump, to prevent the U.S. from exiting the alliance.

It should be noted that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio canceled his trip to London, where talks on resolving the Ukrainian conflict were to take place, following comments from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about rejecting the recognition of Crimea as Russian.
