Summary

At a European summit in Budapest, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of the UK’s “iron-clad” support for Ukraine amidst concerns over potential shifts in U.S. aid following Donald Trump’s election victory.

European leaders, including Hungary’s Viktor Orban, emphasized the need for Europe to take more responsibility for its defense, with Orban cautioning against over-reliance on the U.S.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned of the threats posed by Russia and its allies, while Starmer urged Ukraine’s allies to strengthen their commitment to supporting Kyiv.

    As an American, you are 10000 miles away. Your military industrial complex is making bank, and you haven’t committed a single soldier.

    Shut. The . Fuck. Up.

      As a Russian, you are losing this war. You don’t get to have a vote, you’ll get conscripted against your will and will be gone within 3 months.

        Just a friendly reminder that in the real world, the country that cancelled its presidential elections this year and is conducting forced mobilization is Ukraine. In Russia, the presidential elections were held six months ago and the forced mobilization ended two years ago.

      You do know I have control over none of that, right?

      Also, I think you need to pay attention to our civility rules in the sidebar.

      Also also, considering I am emigrating to Britain, I’ll be a lot closer to Ukraine. Where are you?
