The European Union’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas vows to stand by Kyiv and questions America’s leadership of the West after the extraordinary clash between President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky.
“Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge,” Kallas writes on social media following the Oval Office confrontation. “Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine.”
