Trump's statements
Earlier, Trump accused Europe of spending less money on aid to Ukraine than the United States. Also, US Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg said that he did not see Europe at the table for negotiations on Ukraine. This has led to outrage and criticism among EU countries.
