Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that if support from the US decreases, he hopes for backing from Europe, which is economically much stronger than Russia, according to Ukrinform.
The EU has mobilized substantial aid for Ukraine in response to the ongoing war with Russia, totaling approximately €118 billion since February 2022. This support encompasses €43.5 billion in military assistance, aimed at bolstering Ukraine’s defense capabilities, alongside significant financial and humanitarian aid to stabilize the economy and support displaced individuals.
The EU has also established a dedicated Ukraine Facility, committing up to €50 billion for recovery and modernization efforts from 2024 to 2027.
Additionally, the EU has facilitated the temporary protection of over four million Ukrainian refugees and coordinated extensive humanitarian assistance, including medical evacuations and the provision of essential supplies.
“I want to remind everyone that Europe is vast, much larger than Russia. I mean economically, militarily, and in terms of arms – it’s very strong.
Therefore, the plan is not to lose if US support is not as strong or decreases. We will rely on ourselves, on unity within Europe, and on the public opinion of the American people,” said Zelenskyy.
At the same time, he noted that he hopes US policy will remain unchanged and that support for Ukraine will continue.
“US policy is not only about the White House but also Congress, the Senate, and bipartisan support,” emphasized Zelenskyy.
The US presidential election will take place on 5 November. Most polls indicate a tight race between US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, with each candidate leading in different areas.
For instance, Trump leads in economic issues, while Harris is the clear frontrunner on gender issues and women’s rights.
