:Trump says the survival of Ukraine is important to the USA, but Europe isn't doing enough to support Ukraine.[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/19/ukraine-war-briefing-donald-trump-says-survival-of-ukraine-important-to-the-us][https://www.reuters.com/world/donald-trump-says-ukraines-survival-is-important-us-2024-04-18/]
