Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has already squandered billions in Western aid and presided over rampant corruption, is now turning to a new tactic to keep his war going — creating division between the U.S. and Europe. Sensing that the U.S. is shifting toward a peace deal, Zelenskyy is casting doubt on America’s reliability and using that manufactured uncertainty to push for a European Army.

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskyy insisted that Europe must no longer depend on the U.S. for its security, claiming that America might “say no” when Europe needs help. His remarks are part of a deliberate effort to drive a wedge between Washington and its European allies, sowing distrust in order to prevent any shift toward diplomacy that could bring the war to an end.

By portraying the U.S. as an unreliable partner, Zelenskyy hopes to keep European leaders focused on escalating the war rather than pursuing peace. His call for a European Army is not about security — it is about ensuring the war can continue even if the U.S. refuses to keep bankrolling his government. Instead of acknowledging the failure of his military strategy, Zelenskyy is shifting the burden onto Europe and demanding that European taxpayers fund a new war machine.

His latest scheme comes as President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance signal a shift in U.S. policy, refusing to offer unlimited financial and military support. With no guarantees of continued U.S. backing, Zelenskyy is now trying to lock Europe into a deeper commitment, knowing that without endless foreign aid, his position weakens.

Trump just said that he wants the money from Ukraine back.

THAT is the attitude we need running our country.

Zelenskyy is a grifting animal.

Right. For the last 4 years, we paid taxes, our politicians sent it to Zelenskyy, and then he sent some of it back to those politicians. Or am I missing something?

Some European leaders, like Poland’s Donald Tusk, have echoed his call for greater European military autonomy, while others remain skeptical of Zelenskyy’s intentions. His track record of corruption, his government’s decision to cancel elections, and the widespread theft of Western weapons have all raised concerns about his true motives.

As President Trump continues to push for negotiations with Russia, Zelenskyy’s response is to escalate, manipulate, and attempt to divide. His goal is clear — if he cannot count on the U.S. to fund his war indefinitely, he will create enough division to ensure that Europe does.
