Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has burned through billions in U.S. and European aid while overseeing rampant corruption, is now working to drive a wedge between Washington and its European allies. Seeing American support slip away, Zelenskyy is pivoting to a new strategy — casting doubt on U.S. commitment to Europe and demanding a European Army to keep his war going.

Zelensky: “The armed forces of Europe must be created.”
He says America might not always be there to help militarily.
Almost all European countries already have their own militaries.
There’s also already NATO.
And since when does he speak for Europe?pic.twitter.com/edYPaaZpLy

The grifting dictator has finally been cut adrift. Trump knows Zelenskyy is a corrupt puppet.
Pity the Australian parliament and media feted such a crook. https://t.co/zY9nSyLGq9

During the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskyy declared that Europe must stop depending on the U.S. for protection, warning that America could abandon the continent at any time. His remarks are an attempt to convince European leaders that their security is at risk unless they deepen their involvement in his war effort. By painting America as unreliable, he is attempting to manipulate European nations into supporting a new military force that would bypass Washington entirely.
Zelenski went from unknown Comedian to nominee to anti Russian warmonger overnight, and barely even spoke Ukrainian when he was elected. He spoke Russian. pic.twitter.com/mbf1E4KIoW

Vladimir Zelenskyy is claiming that Putin bombed Chernobyl last night. This is after Trump and Putin agreed on peace talks. For some reason I don't believe him, I wonder why?…
Let's go down memory lane…

This calculated move comes as President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance push for peace negotiations with Russia. Rather than working toward an agreement, Zelenskyy is escalating his rhetoric to keep the war machine running. His call for a European Army is not about protecting the continent — it is about ensuring that European nations remain locked into an unwinnable conflict, even if the U.S. refuses to continue funding it.

Trump just said that he wants the money from Ukraine back.
THAT is the attitude we need running our country.
Zelenskyy is a grifting animal.
Get our money BACK from that hack! pic.twitter.com/4RNS5frh8b

Right. For the last 4 years, we paid taxes, our politicians sent it to Zelenskyy, and then he sent some of it back to those politicians. Or am I missing something?

Zelenskyy’s speech was met with mixed reactions. Poland’s Donald Tusk supported the idea of a stronger European military, but others questioned whether this was really about European security or simply about prolonging Zelenskyy’s political survival. His government has already faced criticism for corruption, canceled elections, and the widespread black-market sale of Western weapons. Now, with fewer U.S. dollars flowing into Kyiv, he is seeking new ways to sustain the war at Europe’s expense.

Meanwhile, U.S. officials have not taken the bait. Vice President Vance met with Zelenskyy but made no commitments for additional aid. This lack of new assurances from Washington is precisely why Zelenskyy is turning to Europe, hoping to create enough division to keep the war alive.
As the U.S. moves toward diplomacy, Zelenskyy’s priority remains the same — avoiding peace at all costs. His latest tactic, driving a wedge between the U.S. and Europe, is just another desperate attempt to maintain the conflict that has already drained Western resources and devastated his own country.
