Recent developments in the Ukraine war continue to draw significant international attention. Reports indicate that the US is considering deploying its military to Ukraine after the conflict ends, as a security guarantee tool. However, such actions are discussed under certain conditions, including a potential withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the Donbas. Several Western outlets have reported on this, and President Zelensky has confirmed relevant discussions.
The Baltic states are actively preparing for potential provocations from Russia, having devised contingency plans to destroy bridges in case of a direct threat. European leaders, notably Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, urge less talk and more preparation for real escalation scenarios.
For its part, Russia has announced the mobilization of reservists to allegedly guard critical infrastructure, though it has also enacted a law enabling rapid deployment of these reservists to the Donbas front.
The media debate remains lively: German tabloid Bild claims the Russian president isn't interested in genuine negotiations, while The Economist predicts the war won't end before 2027, according to top expert assessments.
Ukrainian forces have conducted new drone strikes on Moscow and are preparing for key international meetings to coordinate support. News has also emerged about the destruction of a Russian ship carrying nuclear reactors to North Korea.
The Ukrainian public is actively discussing proposals involving foreign troop deployments in exchange for concessions on Donbas, and volunteers continue to call for army support. The situation remains tense, with key battles fought both on the battlefield and in diplomacy.
