Amid ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe, the United States took a decisive step — President Donald Trump announced a large-scale delivery of defensive weapons to Ukraine. This is not just a military act, but a political signal: the U.S. will not leave Ukraine alone with the aggressor. The announcement was made in Washington on July 7, 2025, and was soon supported by key allies — the UK, France, and several Eastern European countries. The deliveries include advanced air defense systems, reconnaissance drones, and large batches of ammunition. Experts note that these systems could significantly enhance Ukraine’s air defense capabilities. On July 8, the UK and France announced the formation of a so-called “coalition of the willing” — a group of countries not only willing to supply arms but also to coordinate long-term support for Ukraine’s security. The group already includes 31 nations, including the Baltic states, Poland, and the Czech Republic. The coalition plans to meet in Severwood on July 10 to present a plan for a potential peacekeeping mechanism in the event of a ceasefire. Its mission: to prevent renewed aggression, stabilize border regions, and assist with Ukraine’s recovery. Experts emphasize this shift may change the regional power dynamics. It shows Western unity and sends a strong diplomatic message to Moscow. Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron’s visit to London gains added weight. The leaders are discussing strategic cooperation, potentially forming a common European defense space. Thus, July 8 marks a new chapter in European politics. Support for Ukraine is becoming strategic, with the coalition of the willing emerging as a new security backbone.
