[HIGHLIGHTS] War in Ukraine: the EU will have to double its efforts to compensate for the American failure

“It is highly uncertain whether the United States will send additional military aid in 2024,” warns the German research institute Kiel Institute. In total, 265.1 billion euros have been promised to Ukraine since February 2022, including 141.3 billion in financial aid and 107.5 billion in military aid.

“Europe will have to at least double its current military aid,’ warns Christoph Trebesch, who leads the team responsible for monitoring the aid to Ukraine. The countries of the European Union have not spent even 1% of their 2021 GDP to support Ukraine.
