How are European nations responding to the potential reduction in US military support for Ukraine, and what are the implications for Ukraine's ability to continue fighting?

European nations are struggling to fill the substantial gap left by diminishing US involvement in supporting Ukraine militarily. According to BBC Security Correspondent Frank Gardner, European countries simply cannot match the scale of armed supplies that the US has been providing, despite previous Western commitments to support Ukraine "for however long it takes." This shortfall in military aid creates a bleak reality for Ukraine's war effort. While there are voices within Ukraine expressing determination to continue fighting, the practical limitations of reduced Western support significantly hamper their ability to effectively resist Russian forces. The situation illustrates the critical dependency Ukraine has developed on US military assistance and the challenges faced when that support begins to wane, leaving European allies unable to compensate adequately for the reduced American involvement.
