EU leaders rebuke Trump's outreach to Putin: 'Pressure the aggressor, not the victim'

The EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said the bloc must pressure the aggressor, Russia, not the victim, Ukraine, directly rebuking President Trump's approach to the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met EU leaders in Brussels as support from the Trump administration wavers, including over a reported block on vital Starlink satellites. Leaders voiced disapproval of Washington's strategy while avoiding direct confrontation, with Estonia's prime minister calling the US a strong ally needing a reminder of what is right. Some leaders urged increased defense spending, with Latvia's premier suggesting Europeans drink one less beer a year to fund the war effort. The summit also covers urgent aid for Ukraine's energy infrastructure, a 90-billion-euro loan, and responses to Russian hybrid attacks.
