What will a pause in arms supplies mean for Ukraine and Europe and what to do about it?
In the current situation, European countries must take risks

A pause in U.S. military aid is a serious development that weakens Ukraine’s defense.
It emboldens Russia and demonstrates that the current U.S. administration does not understand the situation in Ukraine or the fact that its actions only support Russia’s bloody dictatorial regime.
U.S. actions are disgraceful and threaten not only Ukraine’s security but also that of Europe.
Russia will likely try to take advantage of the situation by launching new offensives as soon as weather conditions allow, aiming to seize more territory and inflict additional losses on Ukrainian forces. If Ukrainian forces do not receive material assistance to replace lost U.S. support, this could lead to further territorial losses and force Ukraine into negotiations from a weak position.
