US President Donald Trump has criticised European leaders as "weak" and suggested the US could scale back support for Ukraine.
In an interview with Politico, he said "decaying" European countries had failed to control migration or take decisive action to end Ukraine’s war with Russia, accusing them of letting Kyiv fight "until they drop".
In the UK, Downing Street rejected Trump’s claim that Europe had failed to act, citing the UK’s role on sanctions and support for the peace process.
Zelensky, writing on X later on Tuesday, said Ukraine and Europe were working actively on "all components of potential steps toward ending the war", that the Ukrainian and European elements of the plan were now more developed and that Kyiv was ready to present them to "our partners in the US".
Trump’s latest public criticism of Europe comes a day after European leaders came together in London to discuss their continued joint efforts to stop the fighting in Ukraine.
