In response to Trump's pressure, European leaders have rallied to support Zelenskyy.\n\nGerman Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul emphasized the need for more pressure on Russia to negotiate a peace deal, stating that \"we don't need less pressure, we need more pressure on Putin to make him be ready to negotiate.\" British Prime Minister Andy Burnham also expressed solidarity with Zelenskyy, promising to strengthen UK sanctions on Russia.",
