European leaders gather behind Zelensky after Trump collides

At one point, Trump told Zelensky that he is not grateful for American military and political support during the fight against the invasion of Russia and that “gambling with the third World War.”

As a lot of supporting messages for Ukraine were posted by European leaders following the turn – together with the posts of the first ministers in Canada, Australia and New Zealand – Zelensky replied to each one: “Thank you for the support.”

French President Emmanuel Macron posted: “There is an aggressor: Russia. There is a victim: Ukraine. We were right to help Ukraine and to sanction Russia three years ago – and to continue this.”

Dutch prime minister Dick Schoof said that the Netherlands supports Ukraine “now more than ever”, adding: “We want a long -lasting peace and an end of the Aggression War started by Russia. For Ukraine and its people and Europe. “

The Chancellor who came out of Germany, Olaf Scholz, wrote that “no one wants peace more than the citizens of Ukraine”, with his substitute awaiting Friedrich Merz adding that “we are standing with Ukraine” and “we must never confuse the aggressor and the victim in this terrible war.”

Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, said: “Ukraine, Spain stands with you,” while his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk wrote: “Dear (Zelensky), dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.”

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, told Zelensky: “Your dignity honors the courage of the Ukrainian people.”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada “will continue to stay with Ukraine and Ukrainians in obtaining a long -lasting peace.”

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese posted that his country “proudly supported Ukraine’s brave people in the struggle to defend their sovereignty against the brutality of Russian aggression and in support of international law.”

There were also support messages for Ukraine from political leaders in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Romania, Sweden and Slovenia.

However, the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orban, expressed his support for Trump, writing: “Strong men make peace, weak men make war. Today the president @realdonaldtrump has been brave for peace. Even if it was difficult for many to digest. Thank you, Mr. President! ”
