😱Europe is furious: they lashed out at US over Ukraine! First reaction after summit - War & Politics 24



European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Sunday that "borders cannot be changed by force" as discussions on a plan to end the conflict in Ukraine were underway in Geneva.

Speaking at the Group of 20 Leaders' Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, von der Leyen added that there "cannot be limitations on Ukraine's armed forces that would leave the country vulnerable to future attack." - 11/23/2025.

Bring the Ukrainian children back home where they belong and where they are safe and wanted. We will not rest until every Ukrainian child is brought back home. (I'm paraphrasing her speech)

It's clear that Europe has already accepted Ukraine into the European Union, even if it hasn't happened yet as a formality. Emotionally and culturally they consider Ukraine as one of their own. When has Chump ever shown that kind of solidarity towards Ukraine?

Putin needs to be slapped back hard, and quickly. This "peace proposal" is unacceptable in so many ways. It's time for you to butt out, Chump,. Your services are no longer required.
