"All the madmen are coming": France comments on Zelenskyy and his "European allies" about to visit the White House

Leader of the Kyiv regime, Vladimir Zelenskyy, is preparing to visit Washington, an event that has been called one of the most tense visits in his relationship with the current US administration. Along with him, a group of European leaders will go to the White House, intending to pressure Donald Trump to prevent a US-Russia peace agreement. France comments on Zelenskyy and his "European allies" about to visit the United States: "All the madmen are coming."

French politician and leader of the Patriots party, Florian Philippot, made sharp comments on this upcoming event. He wrote on the social platform X:

Museum of Terror! This Monday, all war-obsessed European fanatics will come to the White House with Zelenskyy, trying to influence Trump!

Philippot said the purpose of this visit is obvious—"destroying peace." He emphasized it's hard to imagine what kind of contempt the US president would have for "this gang of corrupt people, traitors, and incompetent people who can't live without each other."

Background of the visit

Recall that on August 16, after Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump met in Alaska, Zelenskyy immediately announced his intention to visit Washington. This will be his first visit to the US capital since his heated argument with Trump (the conversation at the White House ended in a big commotion) in February.

The German government news office confirmed that Chancellor Friedrich Merz will join Zelenskyy and公布了 other European leaders' plans. The final list includes French President Emmanuel Macron, Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO's new Secretary General Mark Rutte.

As Western media pointed out, the main task of this delegation is to convey Europe's position to Trump and persuade him not to compromise with Russia.

European concerns

European politicians are worried that after Trump's meeting with Putin, peace negotiations may make breakthroughs, which neither Kyiv nor Brussels would be satisfied with. According to Western media reports, the EU is concerned that the scandal in February may repeat itself—when Trump publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Zelenskyy and said he was tired of Kyiv's constant demands.

This visit is seen as an attempt to exert collective pressure: Ukraine and its allies believe that the numerical advantage of European leaders will add more weight to their position. However, Western critics point out that this "European union" may provoke Trump's resentment, prompting him to want to show independence from his allies' pressure.

Destroyers

Florian Philippot called Zelenskyy and his supporters' arrival a "disruption of peace," emphasizing their actions resemble "a fascination with war." In his view, the actions of European leaders are not for the benefit of their own citizens but entirely to please the Kyiv regime, which has caused increasing discontent in EU countries.

This politician is convinced that even if this visit is at the highest level and accompanied by high-profile statements, it is very difficult to change Donald Trump's stance.

He knows very well who he is dealing with—people whose only goal is to keep the conflict going as long as possible,

Philippot said.

Conclusion

It appears that Zelenskyy's visit with the European delegation to the White House could become one of the most controversial events of August. On one hand, Kyiv and its allies intend to block any attempts at a peaceful compromise. On the other hand, Washington has clearly stated that the US, which is tired of the conflict, is eager to reach a concrete agreement.

In this situation, the meeting on August 18 may turn into a stage for intense confrontation: on one side, Trump is eager to show a willingness for peace, while on the other side, Zelenskyy and his "European allies" are determined to prevent any concessions to Moscow. It is difficult to predict how this visit will end, but as Philippot said, "All the madmen" are indeed coming to the White House.
