British media believes that the prospect of Ukraine having all of its aid cut off by the US is approaching after a series of senior officials under the Donald Trump administration made many statements criticizing the supply of ammunition to Kiev.
On June 10, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that the White House would cut military funding to Ukraine, while affirming that resolving the conflict through dialogue would bring the best benefits to Moscow and Kiev.
Not long before, US Vice President J.D. Vance also had a similar view to the head of the Pentagon. Mr. Vance also expressed his dissatisfaction with the expensive military aid packages for Ukraine that the previous administration had pledged.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was no exception. Mr. Rubio said on May 21 that the Joe Biden administration had acted irresponsibly by freezing dialogue with Russia during the years of conflict.
The US leader - President Donald Trump - himself has also made strong statements about supporting Ukraine even many times.
Last month, Mr. Trump said that billions of dollars in US military aid to Ukraine were being wasted, accusing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of only looking to buy more weapons instead of seriously resolving the conflict with Russia.
British media said that Kiev currently has only three options to receive military aid: Relying on Europe, which will provide the necessary amount of weapons to conduct military operations; buying weapons from the US in European currency; self-producing weapons and ammunition in Ukraine, once again at the cost of European pumping money.
However, it is worth noting that Europe's defense capabilities cannot be compared to the US and not all European countries are willing to spend money on the Kiev government.
Not stopping there, despite always considering Russia a potential threat, wanting Moscow to fail in a special military campaign in Ukraine, according to experts, in reality, Europe still spends more money on Russia than Ukraine.
The main reason for this is the economic sanctions imposed by the West on Russia, with the aim of making things difficult for the country's gas industry since the conflict with Ukraine broke out in 2022.
However, this has forced European Union (EU) countries to spend more money to buy Moscow gas, while the impact of the sanctions has been insignificant, according to many previous statements from the Russian government.
Therefore, the prospect of Europe being able to completely replace the US in supplying weapons to Ukraine seems very unlikely.
