Zelenskyy discusses preparations for Abu Dhabi meeting, Ukraine's proposals for possible outcomes with NB8 leaders
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed with the leaders of the Nordic and Baltic countries (NB8) the preparations for the trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi scheduled for next week, as well as Ukraine's proposals regarding the possible outcomes of the talks, which have already been conveyed to the U.S.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is seeking clear security guarantees from Western allies for post-war support, following two days of discussions in Brussels. These talks, involving officials from the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, the European Union, World Bank, and U.S. investment group BlackRock, focused on postwar reconstruction, funding for 2027, and security guarantees.
Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of tangible results, stating that what matters is a clear understanding of the outcome if Russia attacks again. He also noted that maintaining bipartisan support for Kyiv in the United States could improve, especially with Democrats' recent midterm victories. Zelenskyy acknowledged that the current challenges, including power outages and water cuts in the Kyiv area, are particularly severe.
Russia recently launched 227 attack drones, with 196 being shot down by Ukrainian air defenses. Meanwhile, Bulgaria found and destroyed a Russian drone in the Black Sea.
