In a post on X, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer shared his thoughts on the ongoing conflict, stating that 'the Ukrainian people have been courageously defending their country against the Russian aggressor for more than 3 years. I personally visited the war zone and saw for myself how big the sacrifices were.'
'We all want this war to end, at last. Russia is the aggressor and therefore Europe supports Ukraine's efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace! #westandwithukraine,' he added.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau echoed his sentiments on X, emphasizing that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was illegal and unjustifiable.

Slovenia's President, Natasa Pirc Musar, wrote on X that they stand 'firm in support of Ukraine's sovereignty.'
'Slovenia upholds the principles and respect of international law and international relations. What we witnessed in the Oval Office today undermines these values and the foundations of diplomacy,' she said.
'We stand firmly in support of Ukraine's sovereignty. We repeat, Russia is the aggressor. It is imperative that we nurture and protect democratic ideals, ensuring they are reflected in our actions and interactions on the global stage. It is time for Europe to take the lead on the path to peace in Ukraine. With respect for international law, UN Charter, fairness and above all ... decency,' she added.
