European leaders reaffirm support for Ukraine after tensions
European leaders have reaffirmed their support for Ukraine following tensions between President Volodymyr Zelensky and former President Trump. Zelensky expressed gratitude to the U.S. amid shifting political dynamics. Speaker Mike Johnson, who previously advocated for Ukraine aid, has now aligned with Trump, blaming Biden officials for the war. Johnson's change reflects a broader Republican shift towards Trump's stance on Ukraine and Russia. Johnson's earlier efforts to secure aid for Ukraine involved secret negotiations with Biden officials. He now echoes Trump’s criticisms of Zelensky, claiming his past support was aimed at facilitating a future peace deal.
