Diplomats in Brussels stress that it’s crucial for Europe to address potential funding gaps for Ukraine following President Trump's pause in US military aid. NATO is monitoring the situation closely, particularly regarding European nations' ability to acquire American weapons. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, acknowledged the severe security threats Europe faces while subtly criticizing the US's shifting role. As the EU prepares for a significant summit, discussions continue regarding how Europe can bolster its military support amid a changing global landscape.
"Europe faces a clear and present danger on a scale that none of us have seen in our adult lifetime, with our fundamental assumptions being undermined to their very core."
"When European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen addressed the media early on March 4, she avoided making any reference to the US decision regarding military funding for Ukraine."
