Has Europe got the balls to back Zelensky?

[montanacowboy]

Zelensky should go to the EU and make a deal on the rare earth minerals with them. They in turn should back him 100% with whatever he needs. Cut the US out of the picture completely. Would Europe do it? or are they cowards too? If something isn't done, we will have a full fledged war in Europe and maybe Russia will be landing in Alaska. Today was a turning point. The world is either with Ukraine or they are not and if they are not start learning to speak Russian.
A shameful day for the US one that should live in infamy.

1. I think they do; they're right in the middle of things

and have a lot more to lose.

2. Kinda looks like no at this point.

13. Why do you say thai ?

3. Yes, they will back Zelenskyy!

He probably talked to European leaders before meeting with tfg.

The entire world can see that tfg is a ruskie asset, with the exception of tge US media that is.

Slava Ukraini!

4. They do and they are.

If you followed news more closely you would know. The EU is ramping up their military spending, already has offered a favorable deal to Ukraine regarding the purchase of their rare earth resources ( unlike Trump's offer its not a one sided blackmail deal).

France and England are willing to send troops in Ukraine and others will follow if the situation deteriorates.

After this shameful meeting, several EU leaders already denounced it saying they stand with Ukraine.

5. Europe has no choice. If Putin is not stopped at Ukraine, he's not going to stop until he defeats and eats Europe.

The Norwegian prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre is the latest European leader to offer his support for Zelenskyy and Ukraine as he says this:

We stand by Ukraine in their fair struggle for a just and lasting peace.

The Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson said:

Sweden stands with Ukraine. You are not only fighting for your freedom but also for all of Europe’s. Slava Ukraini!

The Lithuanian president Gitanas Nausėda has also joined in:

Ukraine, you’ll never walk alone.

… and the Irish foreign minister Simon Harris:

Ukraine is not to blame for this war brought about by Russia’s illegal invasion. We stand with Ukraine.

Their comments come after earlier expression of support from Poland’s Tusk, Spain’s Sanchez, and France’s Macron.

‘Ukraine, Spain stands with you,’ Spanish prime minister says

Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez has joined the list of European leaders offering their support and solidarity to Ukraine after the clash between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy. He has just posted a social media update saying:

Ucrania, España está contigo.
Ukraine, Spain stands with you.
Україно, Іспанія з тобою.

Macron pointedly backs Ukraine over ‘aggressor’ Russia responding to Trump-Zelenskyy clash

French president Emmanuel Macron highlighted that Russia is the aggressor, and Ukrainians are the aggressed people, when asked for his response to a clash between US president Donald Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“We must ... respect those who have been fighting since the beginning,”

he told reporters on the sidelines of his visit to Portugal, quoted by Reuters.

Poland’s Tusk publicly backs Zelenskyy after clash with Trump

Polish prime minister Donald Tusk responds to scenes in the Oval Office. He says in a social media update:

Dear @ZelenskyyUa, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

8. You won't have to wait long to find out.

They're due to meet in London tomorrow.

I think Trump and Vance's outbursts were massive shots in the feet. The masks are off, and there can be no excuse of illusions any more.

The noises in response so far don't sound like they're scared of Trump.

9. Further European leaders back Zelenskyy in remarkable show of unity

In a continuing show of unity among European leaders, more and more of them publicly back Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

We have now heard from at least 14 of them in the last hour.

European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and European Council president Antonio Costa posted the same update on their social media accounts just now, saying:

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.
Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President @ZelenskyyUa.
We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Outgoing German chancellor Olaf Scholz said:

Nobody wants peace more than the citizens of Ukraine! That is why we are working together to find a way to a lasting and just peace. Ukraine can rely on Germany – and on Europe.

Dutch prime minister Dick Schoof said:

The Netherlands continues to support Ukraine. Especially now. We want lasting peace and an end to the war of aggression that Russia has started. For Ukraine, for all its inhabitants and for Europe.

Luxembourgish prime minister Luc Frieden joined in:

Luxembourg stands with Ukraine. You are fighting for your freedom and a rules based international order.

As did the Portuguese president, Luis Montenegro:

Ukraine can always count on Portugal, @ZelenskyyUa.

And more extensive comments from Macron:

Russia is the aggressor, and Ukraine is the aggressed people. I think we were all right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago, and to continue to do so. We, that is the United States of America, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese and many others. And we must thank all those who have helped and respect those who have been fighting since the beginning. Because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children and the security of Europe. These are simple things, but they’re good to remember at times like these, that’s all.

10. I hope so.

11. Trump has proven that the U.S. is no longer a reliable ally.

They need Zelensky more than than they can trust the United States to back them against Putin.
