European leaders on Friday lined up to show solidarity with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy following his coming under attack from US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance in a stunning White House confrontation.

“Just so you understand, Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back.” “Now, in fact to be frank, we paid. We paid 60 percent of the total defaults, and it was like the U.S. — loans, guarantee grants — and we provided real money, to be clear.”

US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance engaged in a publicly-televised shouting match with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his appearance at the White House Friday, exposing the crisis triggered by the failure of the US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine and the growing confrontation between the United States and the European imperialist powers.
