Trump has repeatedly criticized the level of support for United States to Ukraine’s fight against the Russian invasion that began in 2022. In countryside electoral He has promised that he plans to end the conflict before he even takes office, but he has never explained how.
“The Americans will get out of the war in Ukraine, they will not encourage it, they will not say that the war is a good thing,” Orban said. “Many things are said about Donald Trumpbut no one doubts one thing, that it doesn’t start a war.

The future of aid to Ukraine it is one of the main issues that the EU will have to face with Trump’s victory. Together with the United States, the EU and its member countries are among the largest donors of military and financial aid to Ukraine, and most EU leaders have expressed strong support for continuing on this path. But it will have to face the next phases with the two main political and economic forces in trouble: the Germany which is facing a government crisis and the France which seems politically weakened at the moment.
Despite this, the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reiterated the German position, saying that Europe must also strengthen its own defenses. “Russia has invaded Ukraine and is continuing this war with unchanged brutality,” he declared. “One issue is quite clear: together, as the European Union, as Europeans, we must do what is necessary for our security. This will be successful especially if everyone contributes.”
