Lieutenant General Alexus Grynkewich, nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and head of U.S. European Command (EUCOM), expressed confidence that Ukraine can win its war against Russia. During his U.S. Senate confirmation hearing, Grynkewich emphasized the determination and tenacity of the Ukrainian people when their homeland is threatened, a resolve difficult for others to fully comprehend.

Grynkewich, a former F-16 and F-22 pilot with Belarusian ancestry, officially assumed command of NATO Allied Command Operations on July 4, 2025, succeeding General Christopher Cavoli, who held the post since 2022. His appointment continues the tradition of U.S. generals leading NATO's European forces since the command's establishment in 1951. NATO and allied officials highlighted the importance of transatlantic unity during the handover ceremony. Grynkewich's stance aligns with previous U.S. generals in charge of EUCOM, all of whom have expressed belief in Ukraine's potential to prevail in the conflict with Russia.
