Volodymyr Zelensky says that if the US stops funding the war, Ukraine will demand at least $250 billion from Europe to continue its defense.
Zelensky demands $250 billion from Europe if the US suspends war financing
Amid uncertainty over the continuation of US military and financial support for Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky declared that Europe will have to assume this responsibility if Washington stops the transfers.
"If the US stops giving us money, we will demand at least $250 billion from Europe," Zelensky said during a meeting with allies.
What is at stake?
The US Congress has not yet approved new military aid packages for Ukraine. ???? The Joe Biden administration is facing resistance from internal opponents to continue funding the war effort.
Europe is already contributing billions of dollars in aid, but may struggle to cover the amount demanded by Zelensky.
International reactions
Zelensky's statement has sparked debate among European leaders, who are already facing internal economic challenges and public pressure over prolonging the conflict. France and Germany have indicated that they may continue supporting Ukraine, but have not yet commented on the specific amount mentioned.
What could happen now?
If the US does indeed reduce or suspend funding, Europe may have to reevaluate its strategy for supporting Ukraine, either by increasing financial transfers or seeking a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
