Brussels - Saba:
European Commissioner for Defense and Space, Andrius Kubilius, has pledged to double Europe’s assistance to Ukraine if U.S. President Donald Trump fails to reach an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The EU commissioner stated on Monday, according to Russia Today: "If Trump fails to convince Putin to bring about peace, we may need to act faster by presenting more compelling arguments in favor of peace—by significantly increasing our military support for Ukraine."
Kubilius noted that EU member states could allocate 40 billion euros to purchase weapons produced in Ukraine itself.
Russia has consistently criticized the West’s supply of weapons to Ukraine, emphasizing that such deliveries hinder settlement efforts and directly involve NATO countries in the conflict, warning that they are "playing with fire."
