<p>Australian PM Anthony Albanese also voiced support and so did European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Spanish President Pedro Sanchez, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and New Zealand PM Christopher Luxon were among the other world leaders who threw their weight behind Zelesnky.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The thanking spree came as Trump and Vance confronted Zelenskyy over his alleged lack of gratitude. What was supposed to be a meeting to discuss ways to end the war descended to theatrics with Trump accusing Zelenskyy of “gambling with millions of lives”.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The rift in the meeting began when Vance accused Zelenskyy of refusing to accept the present disagreements when it came to a ceasefire agreement and “fighting it out in front of the media.”</p>
<p>&ldquo;You have to be thankful. You don&rsquo;t have the cards,&rdquo; Trump said, adding later, &ldquo;You gotta be more thankful.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Have you said thank you once this entire meeting?&rdquo; Vance asked.</p>
<p>It was after this tense interaction that world leaders came in support of Zelenskyy.&nbsp;</p>
