Ukraine live ticker: Trump before phone call with Putin: Much agreed, but “still a lot to do”

Italy and Spain currently do not want to support a proposal by EU foreign representative Kaja Kallas to doublet military aid for Ukraine to up to 40 billion euros. Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Monday at a meeting with his counterpart from the 27 EU countries in Brussels that the proposal had to be discussed in detail and in the light of impending developments. So he waits the phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to see if there is progress. After the meeting, Kallas said that her proposal had “broad political support” and the talks would now go into detail. According to information from diplomats, the proposal is strongly supported by the North and Eastern European countries. However, some states of southern Europe were more reserved, which reflects the split between the countries that are geographically closer to Russia and have provided more help for Ukraine, and the further distant countries who have provided less help in relation to their economic performance. The Italian foreign minister Tajani also said that his country must also find money to increase his own defense spending: “There are a lot of expenses that need to be put on.” Spain’s Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said that you will see how the debate about the Kallas plan is among the outside ministers. “But there is no decision about it at the present time.” Spain has already committed to giving Ukraine a billion euros in military aid this year. Spain did not have to wait for “the high EU representative to make a proposal” in order to show that Kiev could count on his support, he said criticism of Kallas.
