WASHINGTON It was the White Houseclashwatched around the world.

What many Americans and Europeans hoped would be a meeting demonstrating strong U.S. support for Ukraine at a critical time in its more than three-year-old war with Russia, turned into a disaster no one expected.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before domestic and international media as an ungrateful tough guy not interested in peace before cutting the meeting short.

As video of the astonishing tense exchange between what were considered two allies made its way around the world, European leaders, concerned about Trumps outreach to Russia behind their backs, rushed to express support for Ukraine and its leader.

We will continue our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the aggressor, Kaja Kallas, the EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, said in a post on X.

Today it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. Its up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge, she added.
