The Record Illusion: Europe Invested €7.2 Billion in the War, but Dependence on the US Persists

Politics 08/13/2026, 19:35
🇪🇺 **Europe Breaks Records, but the US Remains the Main Weapons Supplier** According to a report by the Kiel Institute (Aug 13, 2026), military aid to Ukraine reached €7.2 billion in June. This is the highest level since 2024. 📉 **Context:** • Direct US aid ceased in February 2025. • The average monthly aid volume dropped from €3.46 billion to €2.94 billion. • The June surge is a one-off transaction from a new EU fund (€90 billion). 🇺🇸 **Paradox:** Europe pays with its own money but buys American weapons (especially Patriots), as there are no domestic analogues. 🚁 **Trends:** Sharp growth in drone financing: €1.6 billion in the first 4 months of 2026 (4 times more than in all of 2022). #Ukraine #MilitaryAid #EU #USA #Analytics
