US envoy criticizes Europe's reluctance to act in Ukraine without US, amid EU plans for post-conflict force.

US envoy Whitaker criticizes European NATO states for lacking political will to address the Ukraine conflict without US involvement. The US has contributed over half of Ukraine's military aid. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has plans for a multinational force post-conflict, but German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius disputes this, saying the EU lacks jurisdiction. Russia has stated it won't tolerate Western troops on Ukrainian soil.
