Zelenskyy pushes for 'clear' postwar security guarantees in Ukraine
Zelenskyy emphasized the need for clear, tangible results on paper. Meanwhile, the grim reality of war continues in Ukraine.
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.
