Yes they have come to some agreement in the house of representatives which is for the next 45 days and in this agreement Ukraine isn't there on the paper.

Europe going solo..You said that they can't compensate for an American retreat-This would mean that Europe will send instructors and knowhow to Ukraine so they can produce these weapons by them self.

Around in Europe old ammo factory is being reopened. Example one in Denmark is being reopened it was last year in May they opened it. It will take about 2 years before it is up and running fully.
