You’re making good points and they’re all true, though it just seemed quite coincidental to me that in the exact year that the US drops a lot of support for Ukraine, the EU just happens to be capable of ramping up the funds available to their eastern neighbor.
Thankfully, the EU is not the US, but I still believe that political will has been playing an outsized role until Trump curtailed US support. Of course there’s obstructionist Orbán, at least for now, yet somehow in 2025 the EU still managed to increase their support for Ukraine.
I really hope that continues and even expands. Otherwise it may be dark times ahead for the entire EU, which I don’t want to see.
So do I.
But if I have to defend my country (or the EU), I'll make sure to remind the Russian why during WW2 most of the Nazi soldiers where more afraid of the French than the US army 😈.
