"Ukraine's War Effort Gains Broad Support Despite Fatigue and Diplomatic Challenges"

EU foreign ministers meet in Kyiv to discuss support for Ukraine, with EU policy chief Josep Borrell describing the ongoing war as an "existential crisis." The EU has pledged over €70bn of military and civilian assistance for Ukraine, emphasizing sustainable and predictable support. The US budget deal did not include $6bn in military aid for Ukraine, but President Joe Biden assured Kyiv of continued support. While Ukraine has made progress in pushing back against Russia, cracks are appearing within the EU, with some countries showing reluctance to fully support Ukraine.
