Politico magazine has ranked Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump among its list of Europe's top leaders.
The publication clarified that while its rankings typically feature European leaders, both Putin and Trump were included due to their substantial influence on European affairs.
The ranking also includes Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
