Gap in Ukraine's defense

Ukraine is facing a problem of reliance on the United States for obtaining advanced weapon systems, making President Trump's threats to withdraw protection from Ukraine even more dangerous. This information is provided by The Telegraph.

The article claims that Ukraine managed to halt Putin's army at the beginning of 2022, but it has become clear that effective weaponry is crucial. Russia remains Europe's main enemy.

It is noted that the US has become less decisive since Putin's invasion of Crimea in 2014. The Trump administration accused Ukraine of starting the war, initiated 'peace negotiations' with Russia, and even voted against a UN resolution that named Russia as the aggressor.

The article states that NATO must ensure its security without the US, which is very important for this. However, Ukraine faces difficulties as it needs American weapons such as Patriot missile systems and ATACMS to effectively counter Russia. Without these means, Ukraine risks losing.

According to The Telegraph, the US, based on its defense capabilities, is adopting an isolationist policy, so other international alliances that relied on US support must create their own security strategies. For instance, the UK and European countries must develop their own defense capabilities to compensate for the absence of the US on the global security stage.

The article concludes with a note that even significant assistance from other NATO countries cannot save Ukraine without American technology and production. If Ukraine loses, Russia will be close to Europe, undermining NATO's readiness.
