I wonder if this contract will be fulfilled…

Some prepayment has probably already been made. If no US funding to complete the order, an EU partner can step in. The so-called Danish model has worked well since 2023, when Denmark financed military production in Ukraine and (allegedly) in third countries.
 
Given the dramatic turn of events over the last month, I think it's time to move from the theoretical exploration of END (European Nuclear Deterrent) to the implementation phase, and fast, before its too late for Europe. Unfortunately I see little chances of it going forward.

About two years ago, the U.S. repositioned it's nuclear threat response systems in Europe and are actively manned.
The USN also has had AEGIS cruisers both in the Eastern Med and Baltic monitoring the situation for nearly three years.

Realistically what are the chances that this situation will continue?

Given the actions in the last week I would not be surprised if they were already on their way home.

Do not confuse Nuclear Defense (actually antimissile defense) with Nuclear Deterrent. Which basically means EU will build a nuclear attack capability, so that any potential nuclear aggressor knows he will face nuclear retaliation. And I'm not worried only about Russia taking over the Baltic states, it looks like someone who must not be named has shown interest in Greenland recently.

Let's be brutally honest. The war to save Ukraine was just lost. They will be stabbed in the back and front now. NATO will effectively die.

While Europe can and will ramp up their own defence investment I fear that the individual countries involved will focus first and foremost on their own needs since they will be bracing for Russia's next attack. If I was any of them, especially Poland and the Baltic states I would also be looking at getting nukes. And deal with the traitorous Hungary etc too.

Unfortunately I believe Ukraine will go down though. You can only do so much when you get stabbed in the back by traitorous scum.
I hate being proven correct at times.
 
Now of course, if Europe gets nukes do they need to point them both East and West?

South is the shortest path. ;)

What's the best path forward for Ukraine to continue fighting but without US assistance? Can Ukraine carry on the fight with EU and other (Australian, Canada…) support?

It may also rattle some in the EU (Hungary, Slovakia…) if Putin and Trump working together, announce that an armistice and settlement proposal has been co-drafted by Russia and the US, but has been rejected by Zelenskyy.

Follow the money.
