Pentagon: US cannot be primary source of Ukraine aid

A senior Pentagon official has stated that future US military aid to Ukraine cannot be the primary source of support, increasing pressure on European allies. Elbridge Colby, the official responsible for policy issues, warned that further assistance to Kyiv 'should not depend on significant US contributions.' He urged European nations to accelerate taking on the primary responsibility for the continent's defense, calling it a strategic necessity. Colby specifically called on allies to increase their own defense funding and military production capabilities.
