Brussels:
The top officials of the EU insured Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zensky of Europe’s not -repellent support after his Oval Office confrontation with Donald Trump on Friday, while the top diplomat of the block openly questioned the continuous leadership of the American West.
“Be strong, be brave, be fearful,” wrote Chief Ursula von der Leyen and Antonio Costa, which leads the European Council that represents the 27 states of the block, in a joint statement on social media.
“You are never alone, dear President Zensky,” they wrote. “We will continue to work with you for a just and lasting peace.”
Costa spoke on Friday evening with the Ukrainian leader “to express the EU’s support,” said an official from the block.
Separately, the top diplomat of the EU Kaja Kallas asked the leadership of America in doubt after the extraordinary collision in which Trump and Vice President JD Vance Zelensky separated for not showing gratitude for our help from Russia’s invasion.
“Today it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It is up to us, Europeans, to take on this challenge,” wrote Kallas on social media after the incident.
“Ukraine is Europe! We are at Ukraine,” she wrote. “We will support Ukraine so that they can continue to fight the aggressor.”
Ukraine is Europe!
We are at Ukraine.We will perform our support for Ukraine so that they can continue to fight the aggressor.
Nowadays it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It is up to us, Europeans, to take on this challenge.

Europe is climbing to a strong and uniform position since US President Kyiv and his backers on the continent went to the continent by launching conversations directly with Russia to end the three -year war.
Both Costa and Von der Leyen participate with Zensky participated in a meeting of European leaders on Sunday in London that is intended to take action on Ukraine.
Days later, on March 6, Zensky was invited to a special EU top to discuss possible European “security guarantees” for Kiev and hopefully to close a deal on a new package of weapons.
The Trump team has not only fueled the fear in Europe on Ukraine, but also about the dedication of Washington to protect NATO cousins - and the upcoming meetings will both be supported by supporting Ukraine and finding ways to increase the defense of the block with which an aggressive Russia is confronted.
