NATO's summit concluded with member states committing to 5% GDP on defense, primarily focused on deterring Russia. While Trump's presence eased some European anxieties, concerns remain about Ukraine's worsening war situation. Ukraine faces potential exhaustion of its military within six months without substantial Western aid, leading to growing pessimism despite diplomatic improvements. There are fears of a catastrophic failure if Ukraine doesn't receive significant military and financial support, threatening the positive mood from the summit.
