**Birmingham, UK** – As US support for Ukraine wavers, the question of who will guarantee Ukraine’s long-term security becomes increasingly pressing, according to Professor Scott Lucas of the University of Birmingham. Professor Lucas highlights a growing rift between the US and Ukraine, raising concerns about the future of Ukrainian defense. He argues that Europe and the wider international community must now take a more prominent role in ensuring Ukraine’s continued safety and stability, filling the potential void left by a less engaged United States. The professor’s analysis emphasizes the urgent need for a collective, international response to maintain security in the region and prevent further instability.
