Details: Zelenskyy was asked whether Vance’s words were a “cold shower” for Europeans.
Quote from Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “Indeed, this alliance between the United States and Europe is very important. And it is clear that Europeans are afraid of certain statements, and there have been many from America, including [Vance’s speech – ed.], which do not talk about strengthening this alliance.”
Details: Zelenskyy underlines that certain actions are the choice of the United States, and the current US administration is more focused on domestic issues.
Quote from Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “But I believe that this alliance cannot be lost. Only Putin, North Korea, and maybe someone else will benefit.”
Background:
- In his speech, JD Vance accused European leaders of restricting freedom of speech and refusing to allow right-wing radical parties to come to power.
- In response, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius called Vance’s comparison of European democracy with the system that prevails in authoritarian regimes unacceptable.
- At the same time, US President Donald Trump called Vance’s speech “great.”
