The head of the European Commission declared "the security of Europe is at a turning point. We need a state of urgency and a surge in our defence" (Source: X)
As for the German Chancellor Scholz, he considered that the discussion of sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine is "highly inappropriate" and that the discussion is at this stage "premature and it is the wrong time to conduct it" He finally urged the United States of America and the Europeans to continue to act together for the security of the continent, in the face of fears raised by the initiatives of the American President Trump on the Russia/Ukraine conflict.
IT ALL STARTED AT THE MSC MUNICH HIGH PORFILE SECURITY MEETING
At the Munich Security Conference, US Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a speech deemed hostile to the European Union, criticizing "Europe's retreat from its core values" and avoided mentioning Ukraine.
At the same time, Mercian President Donald Trump announced direct negotiations with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, on Ukraine, without consulting European allies...
Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky called on Europe to strengthen its armed forces and become independent from the United States. He also declared during an interview with the famous geopolitical journalist Christiane Amanpour CNN at the MSC security conference in Munich that "he told Donald Trump that Putin is afraid of him" he then added, provoking laughter in the auditorium "now Putin knows that I said that to Trump"

US Vice President from J.D. Vance addressed a remarkable speech at the Munich Security Conference in Munich that shocked several European Leaders as he stated:
"And what I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America." He added "If you're running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you, nor for that matter is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected me and elected President Trump."
As he was comparing Europe versus USA, JD Vance US Vice President stressed
"Unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes not so clear what happened to some of the Cold War's winners." He also highlighted the fact that the White House is in a new better order now, "In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town, and under Donald Trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square."
As far as Ukraine’s conflict is concerned, Ukrainian’s President Zelensky called for Europe to strengthen
