Ukraine is seeking at least 60 billion dollars in additional funding to sustain its war effort against Russia in 2026, as Kyiv warns that existing support may not be enough to cover rising defence costs. Officials say Ukraine’s total defence spending next year could reach 120 billion dollars, with international partners expected to cover roughly half. The push comes amid a suspension of large-scale US military aid, leaving Europe under pressure to fill the gap. The European Union is also exploring loans backed by frozen Russian assets, while the UK has pledged limited funding focused on air defence and interceptor systems.
