US EditionEurope Can Sustain Ukraine's War Effort without US, German General Says
- On June 2, 2025, Ukrainian servicemen from the 115th Separate Mechanised Brigade fired a ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft cannon at a Russian drone in Kharkiv Region during an overnight shift.
- This event took place against the backdrop of continued Russian aggression in Ukraine, with NATO countries in Europe and Canada having contributed more than $20 billion in military assistance to Kyiv last year, surpassing the estimated U.S. support during the same period.
- Germany has supplied Ukraine with military assistance valued at 38 billion euros , including allocations for future support, positioning it as the second biggest contributor after the United States. This aid also involves collaboration through intelligence sharing, which has been instrumental in strengthening Ukraine's air defense capabilities.
- Major General Christian Freuding stated Europe could largely compensate for U.S. support if political will exists, but replacing U.S. intelligence, Patriot systems, and spare parts would pose significant challenges.
- Freuding warned Russia is ramping up military infrastructure and may double land forces by 2026, and that a ceasefire could accelerate rearmament ahead of possible large-scale attacks on NATO territory.
