Valentin Naumescu, Presidential Advisor for European Affairs, warns that Putin may escalate attacks on Ukraine to secure a victory before the current U.S. administration ends. He emphasizes the need for continued European support for Ukraine, especially during the challenging winter. Naumescu believes American backing for Ukraine will persist regardless of the next administration's party. He notes that European democracies will maintain military and financial aid to Ukraine while pressuring Russia with sanctions. Naumescu asserts that Putin is unlikely to cease aggression soon, viewing the current situation as an opportunity to achieve his strategic goals. He remains confident that the EU will support Ukraine for the long term, ensuring a just peace after the conflict.
