How is Europe backing Ukraine?

Asked 3 days ago

Answer

Europe backs Ukraine by maintaining pressure on Russia, supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity, providing financial aid using frozen Russian assets, and seeking involvement in peace negotiations and reconstruction. European leaders also push for security guarantees, the return of kidnapped children, and access to Russian funds for Ukraine's rebuilding. However, concerns persist about being sidelined in US-led talks and the need for a peace plan that includes European input.
