Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is emphasizing the importance of European support as his relationship with former US President Donald Trump continues to decline. At a recent EU summit, Zelensky highlighted the need for additional aid, requesting €78 billion to sustain Ukraine’s war effort against Russia. He warned that a Russian victory could lead to a massive refugee crisis, potentially driving 20 million Ukrainians to flee to Europe. EU leaders have reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining sanctions on Russia despite changes in US policy, and are preparing to provide significant military funding. As Zelensky praises ‘real leaders’ in Europe for their unwavering support, he urges NATO to recognize escalating threats from Russia as the conflict persists.
