Trump is considering pulling US troops from Germany, possibly redeploying them to Hungary, as tensions rise over Ukraine. His administration disagrees with the EU’s stance, pushing for a ceasefire while European allies back Kiev. With over 35,000 US troops stationed in Germany, the move could reshape NATO’s military presence in Europe.

Another Setback for Zelensky After Trump’s Aid Block? Hungary has blocked a €30 billion EU military aid package for Ukraine at an emergency European Council meeting in Brussels, despite strong backing from the other 26 member states. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban vetoed the proposal, arguing it promotes further fighting instead of peace. The decision delays much-needed assistance to Kyiv, with the final ruling now pushed to the next EU leaders' summit on March 20. Meanwhile, EU leaders, including European Council President Antonio Costa and foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, are exploring ways to bypass Hungary’s veto. The deadlock comes as reports indicate that former U.S. President Donald Trump has frozen new military aid to Ukraine, urging the EU to take greater responsibility.

EU militarization is a “deep concern” for Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated, warning that the bloc’s increased defense spending is “primarily aimed at Russia” and undermines peace efforts in Ukraine. During an emergency summit, EU leaders approved an €800 billion rearmament plan. Moscow has slammed the move, accusing the EU of fueling confrontation instead of seeking diplomacy.
