While the incoming Trump administration appears determined to end U.S. support for Ukraine, other western allies — including Canada — say they're not ready to give in. But can they fill the vacuum if America decides to cut and run?

After Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election, the administration of current President Joe Biden focused on helping Ukraine. This includes returning nuclear weapons to Ukraine, according to The New York Times.

The stakes have never been higher in the Ukraine-Russia war. In the week that saw the conflict pass its 1000th day, Western powers substantially boosted Ukraine's military arsenal - and the Kremlin made its loudest threats yet of a nuclear strike.

This past week has seen the most significant escalation in hostilities that Ukraine has witnessed since Russia's full-scale invasion and marks a new chapter in the nearly three-year war — one tinged with uncertainty and fear.

It began with a peace move nobody wanted and ended with an experimental missile strike so rare in war Moscow gave a 30-minute heads-up to Washington.
