Ukraine seeks stronger European alliances as U.S. support wavers

Ukraine is preparing for a potential reduction in U.S. support after a heated exchange between President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. leaders, including Donald Trump. This clash has strained relations with the new U.S. administration. Ukraine has received 64 billion euros in military aid from the U.S. since Russia's invasion began. In light of the recent tensions, Ukraine is looking to strengthen ties with European allies for support against Russia. Despite the confrontation, Zelensky expressed hope for salvaging relations with Trump. However, analysts warn that without U.S. assistance, Ukraine's situation could worsen, and some lawmakers criticized the public dispute as damaging.
