EU Reaffirms Support for Ukraine Amid Concerns Over U.S. Aid Shift

The European Union's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, has pledged unwavering support for Ukraine during his visit to Kyiv, following Donald Trump's US presidential win, which has raised concerns about potential shifts in US support for Ukraine. Borrell emphasized the necessity of continued EU backing to counter Russian aggression, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Europe and the US to maintain strong ties. The EU and US have collectively spent over $215 billion supporting Ukraine since Russia's 2022 invasion, but Trump's election has emboldened some EU members opposing military aid, complicating consensus on further support.
