Since the beginning of the full -scale invasion of Russia, the United States has provided Ukraine with military assistance worth about $ 70 billion, which exceeds the contribution of all other Western allies combined.

European countries are taking steps to increase the production of weapons and ammunition. In 2024, the EU, Great Britain and Norway provided Ukraine with about $ 25 billion of military assistance, which exceeds the amount of assistance from the United States for the same period. The continent also significantly increased the production of artillery shells and discusses the possibility of increasing assistance to $ 30 billion. & Nbsp;
However, experts express doubts about Europe's ability to completely replace American military support. Some believe that Europe can compensate for the financial deficit in case of termination of US assistance, but political will and production capacities remain in question. & Nbsp;
some types of weapons provided by the United States are difficult to replace in a short term. These include advanced air defense systems, ballistic missiles and long -range rocket artillery. European analogues, such as German IRIS-T or Norwegian NASAMS, can partially fill this gap, but their production requires time and significant investments. & Nbsp;
Although Europe takes active steps to strengthen the military support of Ukraine and build its own Defense potential, completely replacing the role of the United States in the short term. To ensure sustainable support to Ukraine, coordinated efforts of European countries and international partners are needed. & Nbsp;
