UNITED NATIONS — Europe alone is not responsible for helping Ukraine bring an end to its war with Russia, EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas warned Thursday.
That is particularly true when considering President Donald Trump’s pledge to halt the fighting, she said in an interview on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.
“He was the one who promised to stop the killing,” Kallas said. “So it can’t be on us.”
Her comments come as Ukraine and its allies try to divine the meaning of Trump’s sudden about-face on the war between Kyiv and Moscow.
In a Truth Social post earlier this week, Trump wrote that he believed Ukraine “is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.” He added that this would come with the support of the European Union and NATO, which “can do what they want” with American weapons.
While many European officials welcomed the more supportive shift in tone toward Ukraine, some cautioned that Trump might be suggesting that he intends to pull back American involvement and absolve Washington of responsibility.
There is no NATO without the U.S., said Kallas, the high representative for foreign affairs of the European Commission.
“America is the greatest ally in NATO. So if you talk about what NATO should do, that also means what America should do,” she said.

You don’t say 🙄
There is no scenario where US taxpayers will tolerate anymore money spent on a war that has absolutely nothing to do with our national security.
Stunning and brave Kaja Kallas.
That’s a bit like my brother in law telling me he can’t shoulder his son’s corvette payments on his own.
If you cant handle the war, why dud you foment the war?
Now they want us involved again.
You know what? No.
Tired of it.
Europe doesn’t have to fund the whole thing, just do their fair share.
The Eeee Yew needs to fix its own local problems.
The Cold War is over. Europe should fund for the entire defense of Ukraine. If they are unwilling or not capable of doing so, then Russia should conquer Ukraine.
I'm pro-Ukraine. But at the same time, it's not 100% our problem.
If NATO countries won’t stop buying Russian oil and gas they should cease to be NATO countries.
Suck it, Euroweenies!
It would be more valid to state the United States fomented this war, rather than claimed to be able to end it.
Like it or not, this is all our nation’s doing.
Germany with a little help from Italy, Hungary and Finland took on the entire CCCP in 1941.
Where is the Fourth Reich’s fighting spirit?
It’s not our problem beotch..
Maybe not all, but definitely largely. Biden said something like …. a small incursion would be OK. Shortly before the Russian invasion, Kamala went to Europe and, at a summit, alluded to Ukraine possibly becoming a NATO member.
Seeings how we’ve been supporting them the past years W/o Europe.
This turd should quit trying to pick a bigger war then. So sick of this stupid war crap.
EU/UK have big boasting mouths and they always threaten everyone and expect the US to do the big fight for them.
Hell with that.
Yes they do. We are no longer paying for it.
C’mon, Europe, you can do it! Ya got the bund back together, you’re on the ‘42-yard line, and America’s out of the war!
