Russia slams ‘EU warmongers’ for not backing Trump’s war against its ally

(Tim Zadorozhnyy – The Kyiv Independent) Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev on March 17 accused European leaders of being “anti-Trump” after they declined to support U.S. efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz during the conflict with Iran. In a post on X responding to media reports about Europe’s stance, Dmitriev said that those he called “EU warmongers” had revealed their true position by refusing to join U.S. President Donald Trump’s push for allied naval deployments in the region. “The masks are off,” Dmitriev wrote. “U.K. and EU warmongers are showing how deeply anti-Trump they really are. They tried to hide it for a long time, but now everyone can see it.” – Russia slams ‘EU warmongers’ for not backing Trump’s war against ally Iran
