EU and Allies Pledge New Support for Ukraine on War's Third Anniversary

European leaders, joined by Canada, commit financial and military aid to Ukraine, as U.S. policy under Trump signals a shift in its stance on the conflict.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a €3.5 billion financial aid package for Ukraine, expedited from a planned disbursement, funded by interest on frozen Russian state assets.
Norway, Spain, and Canada unveiled new military aid packages, including billions in weapons and humanitarian support, and additional equipment such as vehicles and training tools from Canada.
The EU implemented its 16th sanctions package against Russia, targeting aluminum imports, drone components, banks, and entities involved in circumventing oil sanctions.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments questioning Ukraine's leadership and proposing direct negotiations with Russia have raised concerns among European leaders and Ukraine about reduced U.S. support.
The war has left Ukraine with significant territorial losses, ongoing devastation, and tens of thousands of casualties, while European leaders emphasize the conflict's critical implications for the continent's security.
