The leaders met at a European summit in Hungary amid fears President-elect Trump might curb aid to Ukraine.
Summary
At a European summit in Budapest, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of the UK’s “iron-clad” support for Ukraine amidst concerns over potential shifts in U.S. aid following Donald Trump’s election victory.
European leaders, including Hungary’s Viktor Orban, emphasized the need for Europe to take more responsibility for its defense, with Orban cautioning against over-reliance on the U.S.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned of the threats posed by Russia and its allies, while Starmer urged Ukraine’s allies to strengthen their commitment to supporting Kyiv.
“We’ll keep taxing our people and cutting welfare to the needy to fund this proxy war on Putin. We shouldn’t really be spending, have just announced a 40bn black hole in the nations finances, but this is too good a bargain to resist”
The good news is that instead of cheering for death and bombs at some one else’s expense, you can volunteer to fight with Ukraine, although they prefer people with experience I think they’re increasingly flexible these days.
