🚨Europe in PANIC MODE: Cut out & blindsided by Trump-Putin call

The phone conversation between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin has triggered a litany of reactions from European politicians.

🔊Britain's Foreign Secretary David Lammy posted a joined statement of several European states that said “Our shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations.”

🔊UK Defense Secretary John Healey emphasized that no peace talks could be done “about Ukraine without Ukraine.”

🔊German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius described it as "regrettable" that the Trump administration had made "concessions" to Russia, noting that “It would have been better to speak about a possible NATO membership for Ukraine or possible losses of territory at the negotiating table."

🔊German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock added that “Peace can only be achieved together. And that means: with Ukraine and with the Europeans.”

🔊Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that "All we need is peace… Ukraine, Europe and the United States should work on this together."

🔊French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot insisted that "There will be no just and durable peace in Ukraine without Europeans."

🔊"Europe is investing in Ukrainian defense, and Europe is rebuilding Ukraine with European Union money, with our bilateral aid – so we have to be there," Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said.

🔊NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte called for turbo-charging defense production among member states, adding: “We have to make sure that Ukraine is in a position of strength.”
