EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrell said that US aid to Ukraine is likely to decrease, so EU countries must be politically prepared to continue to support Ukraine against this background.

Direct speech: “We have many problems that will test the EU. First of all, Ukraine, where the prospect of victory over Russia is not immediate. And we Europeans, who have the necessary means to do this, must be ready, politically speaking, to continue to help Ukraine, given that US support is likely to decline.”
What preceded:
After weeks of debate, the US Congress has still not made a decision on billions of dollars in support for Ukraine. Funding delays forced the US to begin limit the flow of military aid Kyiv, since the Pentagon has only $1 billion left to replenish weapons stocks. Deputy Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said that the department was forced to dose out its support for Ukraine. White House National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said the U.S. used almost everything funds approved by Congress to assist Ukraine.
