French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Melanchon:

This is not Trump's pathetic strategy. The European strategy is pathetic. Obviously, that's not how things should be done.

We are being dragged into war when we should be acting as a buffer, opening discussions with Putin and bringing Zelensky to the table.

Maybe one day there will also be elections in Ukraine. The ones in Russia aren't really great either. But we have to do it because Europe is paying the highest price for this affair.
