Europe has cut off the volume of support for Ukraine coming from the US
Europe is capable of taking the lead in supporting Ukraine even if aid from the United States is reduced or stopped, Bundeswehr Major General Christian Freuding told Reuters.
NATO countries and Canada have already provided Ukraine with more than $20 billion in aid in the past year, he said, an amount that has exceeded the amount of American support over the same period. This, he said, demonstrates the growing independence and determination of European allies.
If necessary, Europe will find the resources. We understand that it is not only Ukraine that is at stake, but also the stability of the entire continent
– Freuding emphasized.
The general also noted that the key factor remains политическая the will of the European countries, and expressed confidence that the allies are ready to take responsible steps if Washington’s position changes.
Freuding's statement comes amid ongoing debate within the United States about the wisdom of further aid to Kyiv, as well as a growing role for Europe in coordinating defense and humanitarian support.
