King Charles to hold official audience for Ukrainian president as show of support after Trump clash

Summary

After a tense Oval Office encounter with Donald Trump and JD Vance, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy received a warm UK welcome, including an official audience with King Charles at Sandringham.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer convened a defence summit with European and NATO allies to reaffirm solidarity with Ukraine, discuss unlocking frozen Russian assets, and counter the rift caused by Trump’s accusations of Zelenskyy’s ingratitude.

European leaders fear the spat endangers Western unity and peace efforts and are vowing no negotiations on Ukraine without Ukrainian involvement.

The motivation now is for Europe to finance the entire war... to ensure Zelensky doesn't need to go back to the US.
Such disgrace. I've heard of "ugly Americans", but this is ridiculous.
- I mean we had to get off the US' teats at some point, it's been 80 years. A pity that it had to happen like this, but we have to look forward and turn Europe into the beacon of democratic ideals that the US refuses to be anymore. It will be a hard and rocky road for sure, but we can come out the other side stronger and better in every way.
  
  Us practically made eu dependant on them for military protection
  
  With the new privacy nightmare policy, we can improve democracy right? ... right?
  
  Wait, in Europe? What's the new privacy nightmare policy? I thought y'all enjoyed the GDPR. Did I miss something recent? :(
  ...but also I'm posting from the U.S where privacy is "whatever you can encrypt yourself", which isn't much.. it's a very low bar.
- Yea, it’s a shame that the American people elected this clown to represent them. I’m really heartbroken they/we didn’t choose better.
  
  ...twice.
  
  It was also heavily rigged just like 2020, republicans will never investigate that
  
  Conspiracy bullshit is ruining this country. Didn't contribute.
  
  I agree, but also if we follow the 'pubbicans PR pattern of "Loudly accusing you of doing what I'm actually doing right now in front of everyone."
  ...it's almost hard not to believe it was tampered with from their end. Not on the vote counting side, like they accused "the libs" of doing (and just ended up harassing a bunch of poll workers, after all, they hate anybody who works.) but this mutated monster GOP never plays a fair game if they can help it.
  
  Trump has never played fair. The majority of Americans wanted a person like this. Many Americans don't care about being fair anymore, just being right.
  
  You think so?
  
  Trump has implied it himself a handful of times, and the fact is Elon Musk ~~was paying people~~ started a sweepstakes for people in Pennsylvania to win $1million ~~each~~, to vote for trump.
  
  Not each, it was a sweepstakes, but that was absolutely manipulation. Man what a blatant way to insult the working class by dangling a chance at table scraps at them in exchange for their integrity....and no doubt many went for it.
  I wonder if any actually got paid?
  
  Thank you for the correction. It's annoying being the one saying something inaccurate, but I always appreciate it being pointed out.
  
  That’s absurd and it’s this kind of misinformation that has led our country to be the joke it is today. Do better.
  
  Chill bro, I fixed it. The truth wasn't that far off
