Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Russia is preparing two more major offensives against Ukraine, following three earlier failed attacks. He emphasized the need to mobilize Western support—finances, weapons, and resources—to help Ukraine resist possible new attacks before the end of the year.
Meanwhile, a European Parliament delegation led by President Roberta Metsola visited Kyiv and announced the opening of a European Parliament representation in Ukraine. This move is expected to strengthen cooperation between Ukraine and the EU and accelerate the country's path toward membership.
A high-profile meeting in the UK is also anticipated, with King Charles and Donald Trump expected to discuss Ukraine support and ways to increase pressure on Russia. Analysts believe that Britain will continue to play a crucial role in international support for Kyiv.
Zelensky notes that despite Russia's failed offensives, Ukraine still needs ongoing assistance. Recent decisions by the US and NATO allies involve funding arms deliveries through special European programs, though current allocations remain limited.
Simultaneously, Moldova faces potential pro-Russian influence ahead of elections, with security services working to prevent destabilization. Anti-government protests persist in Slovakia, while the Polish government faces criticism after unsuccessful international political initiatives.
Key challenges for Ukraine remain political mobilization, military backing, and maintaining an international coalition, with the aim of joining Europe and increasing national security.
