Europe doubles Ukraine aid as US support wavers

unian.net (Russian) —

Ukraine is losing US support while Europe promises to double its aid, as tensions rise between Kyiv and the White House over potential cuts to military intelligence sharing and Starlink access. European leaders pledged to increase support for Ukraine amid fears that President Donald Trump may reduce or halt intelligence cooperation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cited recent "difficulties" with partners during a London meeting with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, noting unexpected challenges in what Kyiv considers a genuine partnership with Washington. Ukraine reportedly lost access to the military version of Starlink, paid for by the Pentagon, with no explanation given. Ukraine received no early warning of Russian missile strikes on Monday and Tuesday nights, raising concerns the US may have followed through on threats to stop sharing satellite data. However, officials in several countries said key American intelligence continues to flow. Burnham promised accelerated military and economic aid, including new air defense missiles. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said allies must do more, particularly on air defense, while experts note European intelligence capabilities are solid but less comprehensive than America's.
