A number of European leaders have responded to the dispute between Zelensky and Trump.

Following the meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump in Washington, and the early departure of the Ukrainian president amid a dispute with the American side, leaders from several European countries expressed their support for Ukraine. ZAXID.NET has compiled comments from various country leaders regarding the conflict between Zelensky and Trump.

Recall that on February 28, during a discussion with the press involving Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump, and Vice President Pence, a disagreement arose in which the American side stated that Ukraine "should be grateful" and reach a ceasefire agreement. In response, Zelensky remarked that "the US should not dictate to Ukraine what to do".

Following this, the press conference was halted, and Volodymyr Zelensky left the White House early. Donald Trump issued a statement on his social media platform Truth Social, accusing Volodymyr Zelensky of "unreadiness for peace." He also claimed that the Ukrainian president "showed disrespect."
