Zelenskyy Sees U.S. Military Aid Easing.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has welcomed “positive signals” from the U.S. regarding a resumption of military aid, bolstering Ukraine’s efforts to shore up air defense systems amid sustained Russian aggression . His comments follow high-level discussions between Washington and Kyiv this week.
During a conference in Rome, U.S. officials reportedly agreed to send Patriot missile systems—with Germany and Norway pledging to fund units—intended to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense network, crucial in shielding civilians and strategic sites.
Zelenskyy stressed the urgency of rapid deployment, highlighting a “terror campaign” of Russian drone attacks actively targeting urban centers and civilian infrastructure. He also hinted at a diplomatic shake‑up—possibly replacing Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S. with Defense Minister Rustem Umerov—to streamline defense coordination.
EU leaders simultaneously pledged over €10 billion in reconstruction funding, while a “Coalition of the Willing” was formed in Paris to support post‑ceasefire military cooperation. However, tensions with Russia persist, exemplified by a recent spy arrest and reported drone flights across Belarus‑Ukraine border.
