Tensions erupted in a meeting between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and U.S. leaders, with President Trump branding Zelenskyy as disrespectful for risking World War III. Following the contentious exchanges, European leaders quickly asserted their unwavering support for Ukraine, with EU officials and national leaders emphasizing solidarity. While most EU leaders reinforced their backing of Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban diverged from this united front by thanking Trump. This key moment showcases the political divides regarding support for Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict.
Trump berated Zelenskyy, saying: "You're gambling with World War III, and what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country that's backed you far more than a lot of people say they should have."
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It is up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge," the EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, stated.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen posted: "You are never alone dear President"
We must never confuse aggressor and victim in this terrible war," Friedrich Merz, who is likely to become Germany's new chancellor, posted.
