Leaders endorse Ursula von der Leyen proposal as French president calls Vladimir Putin ‘an imperialist who seeks to rewrite history’

European leaders holding emergency talks in Brussels have agreed on a massive increase to defence spending, amid a drive to shore up support for Ukraine after Donald Trump halted US military aid and intelligence sharing.

But the show of unity was marred by Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, failing to endorse an EU statement on Ukraine pushing back against Trump’s Russia-friendly negotiating stance.

The 26 other EU leaders, including Orbán’s ally Robert Fico, the Slovakian prime minister, “firmly supported” the statement. “There can be no negotiations on Ukraine without Ukraine,” said the draft statement, a response to Trump’s attempt to sideline Europe and Kyiv.

    Noone cares for your Russian propaganda here. Go away. Quit your troll farm job and go do something better.

      Yes because everything you disagree with is either propaganda or part of a troll farm. Don’t like my data? Find me better ones.

      Yawn

      How I love the standard NAFO reply of “muh propaganda!”

        Ahah, your “data” is a footage from Russian propaganda tv showing a tank driving on some field, or some people at a free concert listening to a guy singing badly. Me farting in your general direction is a better source of information.

          The videos are deliveries, some of said videos are just tanks on trains.

          Those are not all the links I have available, just too lazy right now. Might add more later.

        I wouldn’t waste my time. That’s the only reason you’re here, to waste our time.
