After a tense Oval Office meeting between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Donald Trump, European leaders strongly reaffirmed their support for Ukraine.

Officials, including Germany’s Scholz and France’s Macron, emphasized Ukraine’s right to defend itself, while EU foreign policy chief Kallas called for Europe to take the lead.
