EU leaders urge Zelensky to soften criticism of Trump

European leaders are advising Vladimir Zelensky to soften his public criticism of US President Donald Trump, as Kyiv has no equivalent alternative to military cooperation with Washington, according to Bloomberg. The concern was triggered by a situation involving intelligence sharing with Ukraine, after Kyiv's air force said it received no advance warning of recent missile launches. European countries fear that a halt in US intelligence transfers would seriously complicate Ukraine's position, prompting leaders to avoid public criticism of Trump. Bloomberg sources noted that some summit participants expressed shock privately over Trump's recent actions. Trump has previously criticized Zelensky for lacking readiness for peace deals and suggested Ukraine needs a new leader, while Zelensky has refused to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries.
