I do not see Romania there but at least I see the UK.
Melone d’Italia looks very grumpy, not surprisingly.
I can see the tension on the faces of Tusk, Macron and Scholz. Not a good sign…

Only 11 of them?
great to see UK at the european table.
welcome back to the party, folks!
Rutte kinda missing the seriousness of this meeting it seems.
They’re going to discuss and set basically a new common European defence policy there.
There are already troops in Ukraine. They just need equipment and ammunition.
Europe needs to step up quickly and start producing military equipment and send it East. Nothing more – Ukrainians will make sure to put it to good use.
Get it done! I’m counting on you.

As a Canadian please let us join you guys. We could all be best friends. We’re friendly I promise
Great to see Meloni there. We need a broad coalition.
At least Costa seems genuinely happy to be involved.
Meloni doesn’t want to be seen with all those “lefties”
As a Brit I’m so glad Starmer is there.
They all look so confused
Realizing that Fukuyama lied…si vis pacem para bellum
What Trump seems to forget is Europe has AKREADY sent more money & arms to Ukraine than the US. This isn’t a meeting about Ukraine, this is a meeting about Trump.
Costa is Goat 😤

No representatives from Romania, Bulgaria and Greece is sad.

time for the EU to shut trump out, they gain nothing from indulging a corrupt jackass. far past negotiations. EU needs to determine its own destiny, not be dragged through others destiny
