In July, the six largest European countries did not offer new support to Kyiv. Overall, the process has slowed down since April.
Since the end of April, European commitments for military aid to Ukraine have been on a downward trend. This was reported on August 17 by Politico, citing tracking data from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.
It was noted that in July, the six largest European countries – Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Poland, for the first time since the beginning of the Russian invasion, did not offer Ukraine any new bilateral obligations military
It illustrates a point repeatedly made by the Ukrainian military and politicians: that major European states are unable to keep up with military aid coming from the United States, and that the major United Kingdom and Poland may be running out of steam .
The head of the Ukraine Support Tracking Group, Christophe Trebesh, said that military aid to Ukraine is gradually being reduced.
“Although the war has entered a critical phase, new relief initiatives have dried up,” he stressed.
Last week, the Allied Defense Ministerial Conference on Support to Ukraine was held in Copenhagen, where additional support for Kyiv in the amount of 1.5 billion euros was agreed upon.
According to Trebesh, this figure is “negligible compared to what was previously agreed upon.”
He pointed out that the EU Pandemic Recovery Fund covers about 800 billion euros in loans and grants, and that the total European aid to Ukraine so far is only a small part of this amount.
“That’s surprisingly low considering what’s at stake,” the analyst said.
Earlier, Poland said that September and October could be a turning point in the war between Ukraine and Russia, so Kyiv is in dire need of military assistance.
Experts and the military have urged Biden to increase aid to Ukraine
