This according to the think tank Kiel Institute for the World Economy, which notes that Ukraine received 57 percent less military support from Europe in July and August compared to the average monthly support earlier in the year.
"Europe is reducing its total military support. What will now be crucial is how the figures develop during the autumn", says Christoph Trebesch, research director at the Kiel Institute.
This summer, the majority of the military support to Ukraine came through an agreement within Nato that enables the purchase of American weapon stocks.
According to the system, the countries, including Sweden, pay Washington for defense systems and ammunition that are then sent to Ukraine, which means that Kyiv does not run out of weapons.
The humanitarian aid to Ukraine, on the other hand, has been stable during the first half of 2025, despite the fact that the USA has not contributed any money.
"It is now crucial that this stability also includes military support, since Ukraine is dependent on it to maintain its defense efforts on site", says Christoph Trebesch.
