Global leaders have expressed strong support for Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky after a tense meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. Nearly 20 leaders, including those from Germany, France, and the UK, condemned Trump's remarks and reaffirmed their commitment to Ukraine. During the Oval Office meeting, Trump criticized Zelensky, accusing him of risking global conflict. Zelensky left without securing a deal for U.S. security guarantees, prompting backlash from European leaders who emphasized Ukraine's right to sovereignty and peace. European Commission officials pledged to increase support for Ukraine, with some suggesting a shift in leadership is needed in the free world. Reports indicate the Trump administration may reconsider military aid to Ukraine following the meeting.
