The EU will accelerate the supply of weapons to Ukraine, fearing a possible Trump victory in the election.
The EU is worried about the possibility of Trump’s return to the White House and is preparing for such a scenario, seeking to provide for uninterrupted arms supplies to Ukraine. The EU seeks to establish bilateral agreements that will maintain these supplies, if necessary, even without the US’ participation, the WSJ reports.
In both the declaration from the G7 countries and among the EU leadership, it is noted that these countries have agreed to help Ukraine within the framework of bilateral commitments. These agreements are intended to provide Ukraine with long-term support in the protection of its sovereignty, territorial integrity, economic restoration, the protection of citizens and the country’s desire to integrate into the Euro-Atlantic community.
Currently, the G7 members are discussing these bilateral treaties with Kyiv, and the governments of many countries are trying to quickly agree on military support to strengthen Ukraine’s security in case of a reduction in US aid under Trump.
