Western media are increasingly analyzing events in Ukraine and developments that could force Russia to halt its war. According to The Times, there is a growing possibility of the West changing its approach, potentially providing Ukraine with more intelligence and long-range weaponry. Analyst Michael Evans notes that strikes against key targets deep inside Russia, along with broader intelligence sharing, could become decisive factors in ending hostilities.
Meanwhile, financial support from the US remains stalled by internal political disputes, with Congress yet to vote on aid and the Ukrainian delegation awaiting progress. In parallel, Sky News—citing analyst Michael Clarke—highlights possible scenarios for Ukrainian attacks on temporarily occupied Crimea, suggesting that they could be sudden and multi-faceted.
Italian Prime Minister Meloni and Baltic states emphasize that Russia is using drones to intimidate European countries, although the scale of attacks in Europe is far less than in Ukraine. Discussion continues over further arms supplies, with experts arguing that curbing Russia requires not only strikes on defense infrastructure but also undermining its economic capacity and energy resources.
Information warfare is also at the forefront: Western embassies and activists are restricting Russian cultural and narrative promotion abroad, with bans on propaganda artists in several countries.
Additionally, public support for the Ukrainian military grows, with ongoing fundraising for drones and equipment—including artistic charity events raffling paintings and wine.
Both Western and Ukrainian experts emphasize that pressuring Russia and accelerating the end of the war will require coordinated political, financial, and technological efforts by Ukraine’s allies, amidst ongoing strikes on strategic Russian assets.
