European defence stocks rose yes­ter­day after Pres­id­ent Don­ald Trump said that Ukraine could win back all of its ter­rit­ory that has been seized by Rus­sia.

Trump emphas­ised the need for sup­port from Europe when he said on Tues­day that Ukraine should be able to return to its bor­ders from before Rus­sia's full-scale inva­sion in 2022.

Defence stocks have been among the best per­formers in Europe this year, driv­ing equity mar­ket returns as gov­ern­ments on the con­tin­ent pledge higher defence spend­ing.
