Following a tense confrontation between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reassured Ukraine of Germany's steadfast support. Scholz emphasized that no country desires peace more than Ukraine, assuring that both Germany and Europe are reliable allies. Meanwhile, Friedrich Merz, Germany's CDU leader, reiterated the importance of distinguishing between aggressor and victim in the ongoing conflict.

The altercation in the Oval Office disrupted planned agreements and led to a canceled press conference. Trump criticized Zelensky for perceived ingratitude towards US military aid and suggested withholding further assistance unless peace efforts were made.

In response to these developments, European leaders are uniting to bolster support for Ukraine. Scholz, along with other prominent EU and NATO leaders, will attend a defense summit in London to address European security and transatlantic relations. This meeting aims to counteract Trump's shifting stance and reinforce solidarity with Ukraine. The summit will also include discussions with Zelensky, with a special session planned in Brussels to strategize further actions.
