After the end of the active phase of hostilities, Ukraine could play a systemic role in Europe’s new security architecture, particularly through European funding and support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Political analyst Ihor Reiterovych shared this opinion in an interview with Ukrinform.
According to him, after the war the European Union may create separate mechanisms to finance the Ukrainian military alongside programs aimed at rebuilding the country.
“After the active phase of hostilities ends, Europe will most likely establish a separate fund to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine in addition to supporting Ukraine’s reconstruction,” the expert said.
He also pointed to the trend of a gradual reduction of the US military presence in Europe, which, in his view, creates room for Ukraine to strengthen its role within the continent’s security system.
