Ukraine seeks urgent military aid from EU and US after Trump's election
Ukraine is seeking to secure military aid from the EU and the U.S. following Donald Trump's election as U.S. President. Concerns arise over potential changes in U.S. support, as Trump previously delayed aid and suggested conditional backing for NATO and Ukraine. The EU plans to deliver one million artillery shells by year-end, with over 980,000 already sent. Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister has requested a swift release of 1.5 billion euros from frozen Russian assets to bolster its defense industry. On the front lines, Russia is intensifying attacks, using glide bombs and drones against Ukrainian positions. Ukrainian forces report heavy clashes, particularly around Kurakhove and Pokrovsk, while managing to hold back significant Russian troop movements in the Kursk region.
