As President Biden’s term nears its end, Europe faces a critical moment, especially in the Ukraine conflict. Biden’s brief visit to Germany emphasized his commitment to supporting Ukraine, but concerns loom over what happens once he leaves office in January.

Despite NATO’s assurances of continued support, the uncertainty surrounding future U.S. leadership has Europe bracing for a vulnerable period as tensions with Russia persist and Ukraine remains in dire need of additional help.
