Polish PM tells European leaders to 'keep calm and carry on' amid US-Ukraine tensions
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Tuesday told European leaders to “KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON” amid tensions in the U.S.-Ukraine relationship
“To all the European leaders: KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON,” Tusk said in a post on the social platform X.
Tusk’s comments follow a tense Oval Office meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, President Trump and Vice President Vance last Friday.
The meeting, which began cordially, went off the rails as Vance and Trump criticized Zelensky and said he should be more thankful for U.S. support in the war.
Following the meeting, Trump said on his Truth Social platform that the Ukrainian president “is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations.”
Trump on Monday ordered a halt of U.S. aid to Ukraine.
Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy head, said last week that it had become clear “the free world needs a new leader” in the wake of the Oval Office meeting.
“Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the [aggressor],” Kallas said on X.
