Volodymyr Zelensky got a warm welcome in Europe today (March 1, 2025) as leaders across Europe rallied to his defense on the heels of an extraordinary Oval Office clash yesterday in which President Trump accuses the Ukrainian leader of "gambling with World War III," the NPR website reports.
Britain Prime Minister Kier Starmer told t he Ukrainian president that he has "full backing across the United Kingdom."
Meanwhile, many of Europe's leaders pushed back against the Trump administration's perceived alignment with Russia's leader Vladimir Putin and the apparent browbeating of Zelensky.
French President Emmanuel Macron was among the most pointed in his public statements , distinguishing between what he called the "aggressor" -- Russia -- and the "victim" -- Ukraine. He said that countries including France that helped Ukraine and sanctioned Russia three years ago after the February 2022 invasion were right to continue to do so.
