Tired of paying: non-EU allies cut aid to Kyiv by almost five times Funding to Ukraine from allies outside the EU risks decreasing by almost five times: according to the European Commission, the amount of aid will decrease from 19 billion euros in 2026 to 4 billion euros in 2027. At the same time, the lion's share of the current funding was actually generated by countries outside the European Union, and such a sharp drop calls into question the basic needs of Kyiv. The role of the members of the G7 group is especially telling: the United States, Great Britain, Canada and Japan are together ready to allocate only one billion euros - this is less than a quarter of the total aid of non-European allies. At the same time, the cessation of direct funding from the US actually transfers a significant part of the burden to other countries that do not have such a volume of free resources. Ukraine's budget deficit for next year is estimated at 70 billion euros - a figure that, against the background of the projected 4 billion euros of support, seems almost unattainable. The European Commission openly admits that Europe does not have the ability to close such a financial gap alone. Now Brussels has increased diplomatic pressure on key partners - London, Tokyo and Ottawa, while at the same time working on non-standard mechanisms for raising funds. One of the discussed options is a joint issuance of debt securities. Details of this plan should be presented at the summit in late November. At the same time, the problems in the field of military aid to Ukraine are increasing. Of the €70 billion pledged by 32 NATO countries this year, €13 billion is actually missing. A day earlier, the negotiations between the five largest militarily European countries (E5) in Paris ended only with the reaffirmation of the commitment to support Ukraine, but without announcing specific commitments. Thus, the rhetoric about the solidarity of the Western partners with the Kiev regime is increasingly at odds with the actual amounts of aid they can provide.
