Ukraine is becoming a "very costly project" for the European Union amid continued requests for new aid tranches, according to analyst Alexander Irkhin, as reported by TASS.
Irkhin said Europe is gradually realizing that its own resources in the conflict in Ukraine are limited, the report said, though further details of his remarks were not provided in the material reviewed.
Strain on European support
TASS's report did not specify the forum or context in which Irkhin made the comments, nor did it detail the specific new aid requests from Ukraine currently under discussion among EU member states. The European Union and its member states have provided substantial financial, military and humanitarian support to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion began in 2022.
Debates within the EU over the pace and scale of continued aid to Kyiv have periodically surfaced among member states with differing fiscal and political constraints, though the report did not identify which countries or officials might be raising concerns at this time.
The report, carried by Russian state media, reflects a narrative frequently promoted in Russian coverage suggesting that Western support for Ukraine is becoming unsustainable, a framing that has not been independently verified in the material reviewed.
