US-Ukraine rift surfaces, analysis: Europe faces new reality of 'Trump increasingly favoring Putin'

    ETN News Agency reported on the 16th: US President Trump has recently criticized Ukrainian President Zelenskyy multiple times, claiming that 'Ukraine should change its president,' bringing their discord into the open. Trump has also begun lifting sanctions on Russian energy and reached a diesel agreement with Russian President Putin. Analysis points out that Europe is starting to confront a new reality—Trump is increasingly favoring Putin.

    Bloomberg reported that EU leaders attending the summit in Brussels this week expressed deep disappointment over the recent developments highlighting Trump's growing alignment with Putin. EU leaders, including those from France and Germany, privately agreed during conversations that this trend is unlikely to change.

    Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told reporters on Thursday (15th): 'The Western alliance is now in a more vulnerable position than it was just a few days ago. If Ukraine does not receive support, then all of Europe, including NATO, will be put at risk.'

    Insiders said that most Europeans currently advise Zelenskyy to tone down his criticism of Trump, as Europe has no choice but to continue cooperating with the United States. (rc)
