European capitals rally behind Ukraine as transatlantic tensions deepen
Berlin, Brussels and London pledged new aid to Ukraine amid a growing split with the United States, while far-right parties question the funding.
European leaders from Germany, the EU and the United Kingdom announced additional support for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government. The assistance comes as relations with Washington become increasingly strained. Rising far-right movements in Europe, citing cost-of-living pressures, warn that continued financing may be unsustainable. Marine Le Pen recently argued that Europe can no longer afford such aid. In the UK, Prime Minister Andy Burnham accused Russia of meddling in the 2016 Brexit referendum.
