European countries are preparing a new large -scale military support package of Ukraine, but the details of the plan are not yet disclosed. The main reason is the upcoming elections in Germany on February 23, after which European leaders will be able to publicly discuss further steps without the risk of political disagreements before voting. & Nbsp;
This is reported by Ura-Inform, citing Bloomberg.
According to Bloomberg, a number of European leaders have met in Paris on February 17 to discuss the future EU course. The central topic was the strengthening of defense expenses, since the United States made it clear that they do not intend to endlessly finance Europe security. & Nbsp;
The situation becomes especially acute against the background of Donald Trump's initiatives to stop the war in Ukraine. European countries are afraid that Ukraine may be forced to accept the conditions profitable for Russia if the EU cannot quickly provide a new military assistance package. & Nbsp;
Trump administration has already made it clear that it was striving to stop the fire in Ukraine for Easter . For this this week, negotiations between senior representatives of the United States and Russia will start in Saudi Arabia. However, European officials doubt the realism of such terms. & Nbsp;
The Republican Congressman Michael McColus confirmed: “The general consensus was that the United States would no longer pay NATO security bills.” This means that Europe should take on more obligations to support Ukraine. & Nbsp;
After the call of Trump Putin, European politicians were in a difficult situation. Some of them believe that the United States handed over too many levers of the Kremlin’s influence before the negotiations. & Nbsp;
according to Bloomberg, US defense Minister Pit Hegset said that after a possible ceasefire agreement, it will be Europe that will be responsible for the ceasefire. The guarantee of the security of Ukraine and the deployment of peacekeeping forces. & nbsp;
Thus, the fate of the future military support of Ukraine largely depends on how quickly the EU will be able to agree on a new assistance package and take great responsibility for European security. & nbsp. ;
Separately, we recall that Sholts and Trump discussed plans for Ukraine: the media about key details of negotiations.
