In the summer of 2024, Ukraine will face a new significant problem.
This information was reported by Telegraph, reports “URA” -Inform”.
In particular, after the elections to the European Parliament, supplies of arms and aid to Kyiv may be under threat.
As the British publication The Daily Telegraph writes, the potential success of right-wing parties in the June elections creates a certain risk for Ukraine.
«A small but significant and very active bloc of far-right parties intends to show strong results in the European Parliament elections held in June», the media note.
They have achieved record results in Portugal and the Netherlands or are in government in countries such as Hungary, Finland and Italy. In addition, they are ready to win national elections in Austria and Belgium or win European elections in France and Poland.
As the publication notes, some members of far-right parties believe that Europe should no longer supply weapons and aid to Ukraine . Some even want Europe to end sanctions against Russia and push Ukraine towards peace talks.
In themselves, parties such as the German «Alternative for Germany» (AfD), Hungarian «Fidesz» and «Austrian Freedom Party» have little geopolitical weight, but united, they can veto EU foreign policy decisions.
Notably, some experts suggest that they could form the third largest bloc of parties in Brussels and Strasbourg, the two seats of the European Parliament.
Polls predict that Eurosceptic parties will win European Parliament elections in nine EU member states: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia.
They are expected to come in second or third place in nine more countries: Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Sweden.
Another threat to Ukraine is the possible victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election.
«Donald Trump is known for his expressiveness and controversial statements, but this is his way of doing politics», — said the head of Poland's ruling party «Law and Justice» Mateusz Blaszczak.
As Ukraine's largest arms donor, even with $60 billion in military aid frozen in Congress, the end of US support will be a game changer. To replace it, Europe will have to double its current level and pace of weapons provision.
We recall that it was previously reported that the Russian Federation warned Germany and the United States about missiles in Ukraine: will they go against Putin.
