If U.S. President Donald Trump fails to persuade Russian leader Vladimir Putin to end the war, the European Union may significantly increase military aid to Ukraine

EU Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius made the statement on X.
“If Putin isn’t convinced by Trump to make peace, we could bring forward more convincing arguments for peace very quickly — by greatly increasing our military support to Ukraine,” the statement reads.
According to him, the U.S. and the EU currently allocate around €40 billion annually for military aid to Ukraine.
“But we can spend that same amount procuring modern weapons in Ukraine — which would cost about half as much as those made in the EU or US. This would effectively double the volume of weapons Ukraine receives for the same €40B,” the diplomat explained.
- On May 4, the Presidents of Ukraine and the Czech Republic, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Petr Pavel, agreed to expand military-technical cooperation to support Ukraine’s victory in the war against Russia.
