Should the US permanently end its financial and military support for Ukraine, European states could fill the gap in many areas or even overcompensate. A new analysis by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy shows that this would be possible with relatively little additional effort, particularly in the financial sector. Replacing American weapons and ammunition assistance is more difficult, but here, too, Europe could deliver in important areas. There is currently no substitute for US military intelligence.
