EU commits to Ukraine support and humanitarian aid increase

The European Union has reaffirmed its commitment to support Ukraine against Russia's invasion and increase humanitarian aid, contrasting with the U.S. approach under the Trump administration. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized the need for global cooperation. Kallas addressed the U.N. Security Council, highlighting the EU's role as a reliable partner and its dedication to defending the U.N. Charter. She criticized the U.S. for reducing aid to conflict-affected regions and pledged nearly 2 billion euros for humanitarian needs this year. In response to Russian criticism, Kallas defended the EU's stance, stating that misinformation must be countered. She noted that fears of Russia are justified based on its aggressive actions against other countries.
