On September 4, key international events are taking place for Ukraine. In Paris, a session of the Coalition of the Willing is being held to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, including possible deployment of foreign troops to support peace and defense.
A phone conversation with Donald Trump is also planned. Ukrainian authorities expect to hear his position regarding sustainable peace. Meanwhile, Russian forces conducted massive overnight drone attacks: 112 UAVs targeted various regions, with over 80 shot down or suppressed. A fire erupted at a warehouse in Odesa as a result, with no casualties reported.
The frontline remains difficult, particularly near Kupiansk, where Russian presence has been observed on the outskirts. Analysts suggest the situation may worsen. President Volodymyr Zelensky is considering a possible "Korean scenario"—a frozen conflict similar to that between South and North Korea, but with specific threats from Russia.
Current diplomatic efforts focus on obtaining tangible security guarantees, notably the supply of Patriot air defense systems and military aid from the West. Various security models and peace talks are under discussion, but Ukraine's NATO membership is currently postponed.
EU officials emphasize the need for Euro-Atlantic unity and stronger responses to risks from China and Russia. Meanwhile, China has not approved the "Power of Siberia-2" project, despite Russian statements about an agreement.
Coalition participants include leaders from France, the UK, Zelensky, European politicians, and US representatives. The main agreements center on support, possible troop deployment, supply of air defenses, and discussions on political mechanisms for security guarantees.
Further details are expected from European politicians and Trump. Peace talks continue, while Ukraine’s security risks remain high.
