A Brussels summit pledges fresh backing for Kyiv amid mounting fears over US satellite limits and Washington’s stance towards Moscow

European leaders on Friday rallied around Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky as Kyiv’s ties with US President Donald Trump have nosedived and worries grow that US leader is increasingly siding with Russia.

Relations between Kyiv and Washington have soured since last week, when Trump eased sanctions on Russia in exchange for Moscow releasing large amounts of diesel onto global markets.

Zelensky infuriated Trump further by ordering Ukraine’s forces to restart strikes on Russian oil refineries in defiance of Washington’s demands.

Meanwhile, anger in Ukraine has been heightened by disruptions to a critical US-provided satellite system that have hampered its military’s ability to counter Russia’s intense bombardments ahead of the harsh winter months.

Open Questions

  • How will the US respond to European backing of Ukraine?
  • Will the US-provided satellite system disruptions be resolved?
