“European countries will not succeed in an arms race against Russia because Moscow has no intention of participating, choosing instead to focus on securing its own interests”, said Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov in reaction to the Brussels summit.

Previously, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that "There are still people who want to go back to the times of Napoleon, forgetting how it ended." He referred to the French President’s recent comments to “defeat Russia to protect France and Europe”.

In contrast to his gloomy and uncomfortable face during his meeting with American President at the White House on 28th Feb 2025, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy looked refresh and happy at the submit with wide smiles and laugh. Maybe, he was optimistic about the prospects of keeping the European aids flowing and growing to continue his fight with Russia.
