'Incoherent', 'very problematic' and 'bad' Europe reacts to Trump's latest pro-Russian turn The US Trump administration's latest pro-Russian turn did not go unnoticed in Europe, as EU leaders gathered at a summit on October 15 in Brussels to criticize the moves, even as they hold out hope for the future of the transatlantic alliance. The President of the United States Donald Trump announced on October 9 a deal to purchase Russian diesel, and called for the replacement of President Volodymyr Zelensky. Ukraine's military use of Starlink was curtailed days later without warning, and the US may also have restricted intelligence sharing, putting Ukrainian citizens at even greater risk of being killed by Russian airstrikes.
