Zelenskyy-Trump meet: EU leaders to join Ukrainian president to support Kyiv cause - list includes Meloni, Macron among others - Times of India

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : "At the request of President Zelenskyy, I will join the meeting with President Trump and other European leaders in the White House tomorrow," von der Leyen said in a post on social media platform
51% : The collective show of support comes just days after Trump held a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a meeting from which Zelenskyy was excluded.
41% : That decision sparked unease across European capitals and heightened concerns in Kyiv that Trump could attempt to pressure Ukraine into accepting a peace deal that favours Moscow.
36% : The joint presence of European and Nato leaders at Zelenskyy's side is seen as an effort to avoid a repeat of the bruising encounter the Ukrainian president faced in February, when a tense Oval Office meeting with Trump left Kyiv fearing it might be pressured into concessions.
22% : This move comes as an effort to ensure that the US does not enter into a deal that favours Russia and the meeting does not end in a heated dispute like the Ukrainian President's last meeting with Trump.
