crawling on all four away from the peace talks.....

Western heads of state have been acting like “nannies” to Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky during his talks with the US, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said.

In an interview with Georgia’s Rustavi 2 channel which aired on Sunday, Szijjarto said Ukraine’s European backers had rallied to prevent US President Donald Trump from pressuring Zelensky to agree to a peace deal with Russia.

“European leaders accompanied him like ‘nannies.’ It was humiliating for President Zelensky. This was obvious to outside observers because the ‘caregivers’ would not let the patient go alone. If you are the leader of a sovereign country and you are invited somewhere, you do not take six, eight, or ten other leaders with you,” Szijjarto said. He added that the entourage of leaders traveling with Zelensky was “a very bad look.”

Multiple media outlets said UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron “coached”Zelensky on how to repair relations with Trump following their explosive argument at the White House in February 2025. The leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Finland accompanied Zelensky during his subsequent visit to the US in August.

Szijjarto argued that Ukraine’s European backers had convinced Zelensky to walk away from the first peace talks with Russia nearly four years ago. “And if an agreement is made now, it will clearly be worse for Ukraine and also worse for Europe compared to April 2022,” he said.

Last year, EU officials denounced Trump’s peace plan, which called for Ukraine to withdraw troops from Donbass and make territorial concessions to Russia.

Russia has repeatedly accused the EU and the UK of attempting to sabotage US-mediated peace talks and of seeking to prolong the conflict.

supplies....

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has announced plans to open nearly a dozen weapons export centers across Europe this year.

Kiev remains heavily dependent on Western financial and military aid, which has totaled hundreds of billions of dollars since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. Zelensky had previously stated that Ukraine would export surplus military equipment, including naval drones and anti-tank weapons.

In a statement on Sunday, Zelensky announced that export centers in Germany, the Baltics, and Nordic states could be operating as early as this year.

Russian officials have long accused Kiev of fueling global arms proliferation through the black market and have specifically alleged that Ukraine has supplied weapons, including those it received from the West, to militant groups in Africa.

Last week, Russian envoy to the UN Vassily Nebenzia reiterated the accusations and told the Security Council that “the Kiev regime is actively involved in... supplying terrorists with weapons, including drones, and training fighters,” citing the Sahel region as an example.

Mali’s Prime Minister Abdoulaye Maiga has accused Kiev of supplying kamikaze drones to terrorists.

On Sunday, Zelensky also announced that in addition to Ukrainian drone production lines already running in the UK, new ones are set to begin operating in Germany by mid-February, with the first drones soon to be delivered.

The shift to establishing production and export hubs in Europe comes amid continued Russian strikes on Ukraine’s domestic military-industrial and energy infrastructure. 

On Saturday, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported conducting a large-scale retaliatory strike on Ukraine’s energy and military infrastructure, stating that it hit facilities involved in drone production and storage. 

Since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, Moscow has consistently opposed all financial and military aid to Kiev, arguing it only prolongs hostilities and threatens international security without affecting the inevitable outcome of the conflict.
