Introduction

The USA, the EU, and Ukraine are making new plans for safety. They want to stop wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Main Body

The USA and Ukraine want to build drones together. Ukraine knows how to make cheap drones. But President Trump and President Zelenskyy do not agree on everything. The EU wants to buy more weapons together. They want to give 90 billion euros to Ukraine. Germany is also paying for military schools in Ukraine. There is a problem in the Middle East. The USA stopped ships in the Strait of Hormuz. France thinks the USA does not care about Europe now. Europe must protect itself.

Conclusion

Countries are working on weapons and sea safety before the NATO meeting in July.
