US President Joe Biden. File photoMOSCOW, 21 Sep. US European allies have reduced aid to Ukraine to almost nothing, which has become a problem for US leader Joe Biden, according to an article in The New York Times. The Biden administration continues to promise billions of dollars in military assistance to Ukraine, but this has had little effect on the president's domestic rating. At the same time, the head of state is forced to keep on his side Europe, which is suffering from a severe energy crisis, the article says. Washington says it sees no discord within NATO, but Europeans are increasingly worried about the prospect of cold houses this winter and losing interest in Kyiv's problems. Biden, on the other hand, intends to demonstrate unity within the alliance in the situation around Ukraine, the authors write. However, they note that the bulk of assistance to Kyiv is provided by Washington. Europeans are winding down support. According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, the total amount of aid from the six largest European countries — Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Spain and Poland — declined in May and fell sharply in June. In July, none of them made any significant promises. Support from these states has actually reached zero. NATO continues to pump weapons to Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly stated that the supply of Western weapons only prolongs the conflict, and transport with them becomes a legitimate goal. US President Joe Biden signed a bill on the allocation of military, economic and humanitarian assistance to Kyiv. It also includes various allocations related in one way or another to the situation in Ukraine. Congress increased the amount to nearly $40 billion from the $33 billion originally requested by the head of state. Later, the States announced a new aid package for Kyiv.
