Summary:

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was a watershed moment in European security. So far, Britain, Germany and other European countries have worked together closely to support Ukraine and counter Russia’s aggression. But Russia is now on the offensive again, and Europeans cannot afford to let Putin win. The challenge for the UK and the EU is to sustain and deepen their support for Ukraine and their co-operation, in terms of sanctions, military support, financial support and reconstruction assistance. That will not be easy, particularly if Trump wins the US election and reduces assistance to Ukraine. A Trump presidency would also undoubtedly hobble the effectiveness of many of the multilateral co-operation channels used by the UK and its partners, such as the G7 or the Ramstein format. Britain and its EU partners would be wise to prepare for that eventuality now, strengthening their bilateral and multilateral channels of communication.
