Breaking News:European leaders flamed for 'creepy' pro-Zelenskyy posts that read exactly the same
A handful of European leaders are coming under the microscope of critics on social media for issuing pro-Ukraine messages with the exact same wording following Ukraine President Vlodomyr Zelenskyyâs fiery meeting with President Donald Trump on Friday.
Your dignity honours the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President @ZelenskyyUa. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace,â read verbatim social media posts from at least five different European leaders since Friday.
The president of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, European Commissioner for Trade Valdis Dombrovskis, European Parliament member Manfred Weber, and European Council President AntĂłnio Costa all posted the same exact social media message on Friday, a review of X shows.
Fox Digital reached out to the European Parliament and European Commission on Sunday afternoon regarding the posts but did not immediately receive replies.
Social media users quickly caught on that the messages were exactly the same, criticizing them as âkinda creepyâ and asking tongue-in-cheek questions such as, âhas the EU been bots this whole time?â
Trump asked Zelenskyy to leave the White House on Friday following a fiery meeting in the Oval Office, with Zelenskyy heading to Europe shortly afterward. Trump said Zelenskyy could return to the White House âwhen he is ready for peace.â
Zelenskyy met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Saturday, with the pair spotted on camera embracing upon Zelenskyyâs arrival.
We stand with Ukraine for as long as it may take,â Starmer said on Saturday while offering the UKâs âunwaveringâ support for Ukraine.
A group of European leaders met in London on Sunday after Starmer told local media that he had spoken with Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron regarding the UK and France taking the reins on crafting a plan for peace that will eventually be presented to the U.S.
The UK leader vowed in comments on Sunday that the nation is âready to put boots on the ground and planes in the airâ to support Ukraine against Russia and ultimately reach a peace deal.
We discussed a plan today to reach a peace that is tough and fair, that Ukraine will help shape, thatâs backed by strength, to stop Putin coming back for more,â Starmer said on Sunday. âIâm working closely with other European leaders on this, and Iâm clear that the U.K. is ready to put boots on the ground and planes in the air to support a deal, working together with our allies, because that is the only way that peace will last.â
U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard joined âFox News Sundayâ ahead of the London meeting, slamming some European nations for breaking with the U.S. on the value of freedom and reaching peace in Eastern Europe after criticizing Trumpâs meeting with Zelenskyy.
I think those who are criticizing [Trumpâs] efforts in this way are showing that they are not committed to peace, and in the case of many of those European countries, that theyâre not committed to the cause and values of freedom, even though they speak of this,â Gabbard told Fox Newsâ Shannon Bream on Sunday morning when asked about Democrat U.S. politicians criticizing the meeting at the White House and Russia celebrating Trumpâs tense meeting with Zelenskyy.
We heard very clearly, during Vice President Vanceâs speech in Munich, different examples of how these European partners and longtime allies, in many cases, are actually implementing policies that undermine democracy that shows that they donât actually believe in the voices of the people being heard, and implementing anti-freedom policies. Weâre seeing this in the United Kingdom. Weâre seeing this in Germany. We saw it with the tossing out of the elections in Romania,â she continued.
