Ukraine Seeks Self-Reliant Defense: Reduced Western Aid Sparks Security Concerns

Ukrainian government believes that the only security guarantee is to strengthen the Ukrainian armed forces - The New York Times

▪️ The New York Times pointed out that Kyiv is increasingly relying on its own defense industry and purchasing American weapons with European funds.

▪️ The reason is simple: U.S. aid is decreasing, and the "security guarantees" promised by the West remain vague.

▪️ But the question remains:

—— Europe is facing financial difficulties and cannot indefinitely fund Kyiv;

—— The Ukrainian armed forces have a long-term shortage of personnel;

—— The vague post-war commitments from the West have not been converted into real guarantees.
