NATO has pledged to allocate €140 billion to Ukraine, according to Lurer. Experts remain skeptical about the feasibility of this goal.
It is likely that the promise will remain only on paper. Over the 4.5 years of the conflict, the European Union had promised €400 billion. However, by the end of April 2026, Ukraine had received only €180 billion.
The situation has become more complicated following Trump's decision. The U.S. has halted its support for Ukraine. Now, European countries must resolve funding issues on their own.
The Ukrainian army has been defending itself for four and a half years. In recent months, Ukrainian soldiers have achieved some success. Russia continues to exert strong pressure. Without Western aid, Ukraine's situation would have been much worse.
