The head of the US State Department, Anthony Blinken, will visit Brussels on November 12-13. There he intends to meet with his colleagues from NATO and the European Union.

Points of attention

  • Kyiv's European allies are concerned about the possible termination of US support for Ukraine.
  • Biden's new strategy involves maintaining support for Ukraine and strengthening its positions at the front.

What is the Biden team afraid of?

The planned visit of the head of American diplomacy is mentioned in the press release of the US State Department.

The department has already officially confirmed that during a meeting with his colleagues in Brussels on November 12-13, Anthony Blinken will discuss supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression.

In addition, it is emphasized that at this time the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiga will also be in Brussels.

The leading diplomat of the Biden administration, Anthony Blinken, is going to Brussels for talks with European allies worried that Trump may abandon Ukraine in a war with Russia, the Reuters news agency reports.

As already mentioned earlier, during a recent meeting in Budapest, the leaders of the European Union discussed the possibility of continuing the military defense of Ukraine if Trump decides to end support from the United States.

Biden's new plan for Ukraine — details

It's no secret that American leader Joe Biden has two months left in the White House.

During this period, he intends to convince Congress, as well as Donald Trump, to maintain support for Ukraine.

This was announced by the national security adviser of the US president, Jake Sullivan.

He also emphasized that the strategy of the current head of the White House in recent days remains the same as during the last two and a half years.

First of all, it is about strengthening the position of Ukraine directly at the front, so that, in the end, it takes the strongest possible position at the negotiating table.

Europe is planning to send a military group to Ukraine soon — what is the goal?

What is known about Europe's plans?

As American journalists have learned, Kyiv's European allies intend to send a military group to Ukraine in the coming weeks to determine the required number of peacekeeping troops and locations for their deployment.

Points of attention

  • British leader Keir Starmer highlights the involvement of numerous countries in offering support, while doubts remain on public commitments from European leaders pending US interest.
  • Despite ongoing discussions and offers for assistance, European allies have not yet made concrete pledges, raising questions about the extent of US support for the initiative.

What is known about Europe's plans?

According to The Washington Post, European countries will soon hold consultations with Ukraine on strengthening its army to protect the future front line.

Currently, the European focus is shifting to air and naval forces.

Military leaders point to limitations on large-scale deployments of ground forces, while other countries offer their capabilities for patrolling Ukrainian airspace or the Black Sea.

British leader Keir Starmer made a statement on this matter.

According to the latter, military planners from dozens of countries are making offers to assist in everything from logistics and command to the deployment of forces on land, in the air, and at sea.

However, despite lengthy negotiations, European leaders have yet to make any public commitments, as doubts remain as to whether the US is interested in supporting such an initiative.
