Following US President Donald Trump’s decision to stop military help to Ukraine, Polish President Andrzej Duda urged European nations to assume greater responsibility for their security on Tuesday.
Speaking to the UN General Assembly, Mr. Duda argued that Europe’s security had been based on a system that made conflict seem unlikely and ineffective for any possible attacker. He criticized this way of thinking for preventing many leaders from seeing the dangers that Russia posed.
I hope that Europe will take more responsibility for its security in cooperation with proven allies and that the process of waking from the geopolitical slumber, painful as it may be, will be quick,” he said. Ultimately, there is no other option. The public is aware of this. The time has come for state leaders to do the same.
Days after a catastrophic White House meeting between Mr. Trump and Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where the US leader chastised his guest for not being “serious” about peace, Washington declared on Monday that funding to Ukraine will be stopped. Mr. Trump has offered Kyiv a deal that would exchange military assistance for the US, giving up billions of dollars’ worth of rare-earth minerals.
