Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has thanked a number of European leaders for their vocal support following a heated row with Donald Trump and his acrimonious departure from the White House. In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Zelensky retweeted messages from key European figures, expressing his appreciation for their solidarity. The move will serve as a remind to Mr Trump that many in Europe are still backing Ukraine.

       Donald Tusk, former President of the European Council, was the first to be thanked by the Ukrainian President: "Dear @ZelenskyyUa, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone." French President Emmanuel Macron, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, Friedrich Merz, the Leader of the Christian Democratic Union, Germany, have been retweeted by the Ukranian President with the repeated "Thank you for your support".
