Europe is preparing for the possibility that Trump may leave Ukraine without support – Financial Times

Authorities in European countries consider it a very real prospect that U.S. President Donald Trump could completely halt American aid to Ukraine.

This is reported by the British newspaper Financial Times, citing EU officials, following the talks between the Ukrainian and U.S. delegations in Geneva.

A European official spoke about fears that Trump might withdraw U.S. support for Ukraine, leaving Volodymyr Zelensky and his country dangerously vulnerable.

“This is a scenario we are obviously planning for,” the source told the paper.

Earlier, Western media had already reported that Washington might completely stop military supplies to Ukraine, as well as the flow of intelligence, if Kyiv does not agree to the peace plan by Thursday. Later, Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that the deadline for reaching an agreement could be pushed back.

In the joint statement following the Geneva talks between representatives of Kyiv and Washington, mention is made of an agreed updated framework document, but the final word on it is to be left to Trump and Zelensky. At the same time, Ukrainian media report that it was not possible in Geneva to reach agreement on the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Donbas and on Ukraine’s renunciation of NATO membership, and that these issues are expected to be discussed at an in-person meeting between Trump and Zelensky.
