The European Union has announced its readiness to take a leading role in supporting Ukraine amid uncertainties over future U.S. assistance under the incoming Trump administration. EU diplomat Kaja Kallas affirmed Europe’s commitment, urging members to avoid speculation about American policies.
Kallas highlighted the importance of ongoing support, stating, “It’s not in America’s interest for Russia to become the most powerful force in the world.”

However, the Financial Times reports that Trump is seriously considering maintaining military aid to Ukraine, offering some reassurance.
The EU’s willingness to step up signals a firm stance in ensuring Ukraine receives the necessary backing to counter Russian aggression. This move reflects Europe’s growing responsibility in safeguarding democratic values and regional stability, emphasizing its commitment to global security.
