European Union Trump Ukraine supports U-Turns, but we want ‘Burdon share’
The European Union’s head of foreign affairs heads may have “I told you so much” as US President Donald Trump reversed Vladimir Putin’s praise to his past and vowed to increase pressure on Moscow.“We see from the United States that they have also realized that Russia does not really want peace,” Kaja Kalas told reporters in Brussels on Tuesday.The former Estonian Prime Minister made a name for himself as one of the stringent political supporters of Ukraine, and warned in this week’s European Union conversation that Russia’s bombing campaign had “reached a record level.”Kalas and many of his European Union counterparts welcomed the shift in Washington’s rhetoric as he filed in a meeting. “What we experienced yesterday with new messages of Trump yesterday were very important,” said Lokes Lokek Rasmusen of Denmark.But some of the European Union’s top brass also had notes for the US on their latest announcements, including Washington’s threat to slapping 100% secondary tariffs on Russia and countries, which trade with it until a peace deal with Ukraine reaches the beginning of September.Dutch External Affairs Minister Casper Weldkamp said on Tuesday’s talks, “The announcement made by Mr. Trump is for a long time.”
Arms deal details still under discussion
Trump also made headlines with headlines on Monday that he was greenlighting the sales of Patriot Air Defense Systems and other weapons to Ukraine to European countries, Washington had two weeks after stopping Keev two weapons.The new plan should deliver and expand American weapons, which Ukraine says it needs to be increased because it faces an increase in Russian airstrikes.Some European countries are already purchasing and sending Kiev to American-made weapons, although the latest plan can provide more certainty on permissions required to move weapons faster. An American commitment to sell replacement for American-made weapons sent to Ukraine may also encourage European states to perform more ships of their own military supply.NATO chief Mark Rute said the deal was “will work through NATO Systems” and was all interested in participating in European countries including Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Netherlands.But America has not yet revealed more details of its new plan and DW understands the technology is being discussed how it will actually work.
The European Union says that we should ‘share the burden’
Trump, however, was quick to cast the new deal as an attractive business opportunity for the US, emphasizing Europe and would leg to the bill. And it seems that some eyebrows between their counterparts in Atlantic are increasing.Kalas of the European Union told reporters after Tuesday’s meeting that he would like to see Europe and America to see the “burden of Ukraine”.“If we pay for these weapons, it is our support – so it is European support – and we are as much as we can help Ukraine. And so the call is that everyone will do the same, “he said.“If you promise to give weapons, say that someone else is going to pay for it, it is not really given by you, is it?” Kalas said.Rasmusen of Denmark veil equally. He said, “We are providing a lot of funding to buy whatever weapons and ammunition the Ukraine needs … But I mean, I would like to really contribute to all our partners, if we want we want to stop this war,” he said.According to data from the Kail Institute, the US rank as the largest donor of Ukraine since the fully scale invasion by Russia.

Turning point or just a U-turn?
The European Union states may breathe a sigh of relief after the US policy shift, but the policy analyst Tore Tausig says it is soon to judge whether Trump’s stance has changed for good.The Atlantic Council Fellow told DW, “The administration has a Sisaw’s approach to the relationship in the last several months, and I would not be surprised that this relationship, US-Ukrainian relations, is still more folded that it can take,” the former US government official told the Autonantic Council partner.He said, “I am very reluctant to call it a strategic change in the US-Ukrainian relationship,” he said, although the relationship between the two sides is now more “positive.”
Bye-bye for ‘European Buying’?
With the widespread reconsideration of the European countries to promote its own defense and the European Union’s geopolitical fragility, the governments are arguing how much American weapons should go out of a planned military expenses.Arms purchases, especially involving large arms systems, in relation to the buyer with a seller, stops from production to delivery to future repair.Experts say it may take at least a decade to end Europe’s dependence on American-made weapons, logistics and intelligence abilities-and the US foreign policy can prove to be unexpected, which is worried.The European Union Heavyweight France has pushed some other states only, pushing for European-Caval shopping, arguing that it only serves to slow down the process of receiving weapons in European and Ukrainian hands.The latest American -led plan can be seen by some people as a blow to France’s efforts, which is likely to flow towards American weapons manufacturers for more European money.
The European Union fails to greenlite in a new era of Russia sanctions
As the Europe naked the US to support Ukraine and to punish Russia, the blocks are staggering their own efforts. Kalas said that she was “really unhappy” that a holdout by Minister Slovakia failed to adopt the 18th round of European Union sanctions on Moscow on Tuesday.Landlocked Central European State is opposing the European Union laws to ban all sales of Russian gas, and Prime Minister Roberto Fico said in an online post on Tuesday that Slovakia asked the European Union to postpone the vote on sanctions, while his government had ended its reaction to the European Union’s executive, which was to end the stimulation.Kalas said that she was “optimistic” that an agreement could be reached between the European Union states in the coming days.
