Zelensky: Currently, there are no indications that assistance from the US and Europe will cease.

As of today, there are no signals that the United States and Europe will halt military assistance to Ukraine. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to him, their support currently accounts for 60% of the military's needs.

He made this statement in an interview with the Associated Press. Additionally, he reminded that this assistance is secured by bilateral security agreements.

“We currently have no signals that assistance will cease from the U.S. [...] We have no indication that support will stop from the European Union countries, [...] or other European nations, primarily Britain,” Zelensky said.

He noted that by 2025, domestic Ukrainian production will only provide 40% of the Defense Forces' needs. Another 30% comes from the U.S., and the remaining 30% from Europe.

“So if one of these elements does not function, it is not difficult to calculate what percentage of our strength we will lose. Therefore, our domestic production is developing, and today it is a very strong support for our army,” the president emphasized.

U.S. Assistance

On January 27, it became known that the White House ordered a halt to the issuance of federal grants and loans to review the use of state funds. Despite this, military assistance to Ukraine will remain unchanged, diplomats report.

According to the document, the order took effect on January 28 and may impact amounts in the trillions of dollars. All federal agencies must cease obligations and payments under financial assistance programs. The decision also affects the issuance of new grants but does not extend to payments for social programs such as Medicare and direct financial support for individuals.
