U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been meeting with NATO and EU officials in Brussels to discuss bolstering support for Ukraine amid growing concerns over potential policy shifts with Donald Trump's return to the presidency. Blinken emphasized the Biden administration's determination to deliver military aid to Ukraine before leaving office, amidst the recent deployment of North Korean troops aiding Russia in the conflict, which NATO plans to respond to firmly. The discussions also addressed fears that the incoming Trump administration could significantly reduce U.S. military assistance to Ukraine or pressure Kyiv to accept peace on Moscow’s terms. Blinken's visit aims to solidify ongoing support and ensure the alliance remains strong in confronting Russian aggression. The situation is further complicated by Trump's past comments favoring Russian President Vladimir Putin and skepticism towards NATO. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to maintain international pressure on Russia and support Ukraine's defense capabilities.
