Defend European Security: Demand Continued US Support for Ukraine and NATO Commitments

The recent statements by Vice President JD Vance and actions by the current US administration represent a dangerous retreat from America's role in defending democracy and international law. By framing Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine as a 'European problem' and halting US funding, the administration not only abandons Ukraine but also undermines the security of Europe and the entire rules-based world order.

Russia's aggression is not an isolated conflict; it is part of a broader campaign to destabilize democracies, rewrite international law, and challenge the sovereignty of nations. Ukraine is on the front line, defending not just its own territory but the security of Europe and the principles of democracy itself. The US has benefited economically and strategically from supporting Ukraine, with most defense aid spent domestically, strengthening its own security and industrial base.

By withdrawing support, the US breaks its commitments under NATO, emboldens authoritarian regimes, and risks catastrophic consequences for global stability. This is not a matter of taxpayer preference but of fundamental security interests shared by all democracies. We call on US leaders to reverse course, honor their obligations, and stand with Ukraine and Europe against aggression and authoritarianism.
