I'd say the real underlying reason Europe went our way is the Ass-a-hole-a giving the order to ramp up enriching uranium which pretty much drives a stake through the heart of whatever was left of the deal they were trying to salvage.

Now I want to see if Russia and Turkey broker their own deal or deals.
