The deployment of several thousand North Korean troops in the Russo-Ukrainian War signals a dangerous new phase of the war, testing Western resolve to support Ukraine's territorial integrity.
From seeking NATO membership to proposing a non-nuclear deterrent package on Ukrainian soil, Zelenskyy's strategy outlines a path not just to end the war, but to secure Ukraine's future role in European defense.
Ukraine's offer of rescue assistance signals a growing recognition of the need for international cooperation in the face of intensifying climate-related disasters.
The shake-up, justified as a need for "new energy," comes as Ukraine faces critical challenges in its conflict with Russia and pursuit of Western support.
The President of Ukraine emphasized that Russian terror can be effectively stopped only "by strikes on Russian military airfields, on their bases, on the logistics of Russian terror."
“We need no less determination from our partners in these matters. Each of our friends who can encourage the allies to lift restrictions on the use of long-range weapons for Ukraine can really bring our common victory closer,” Zelenskyy emphasized.
The President of Ukraine noted that there are more goals related to the Ukrainian incursion in the Kursk Oblast than he can publicly speak about, but revealed that one of the goals is to “to show the reality of who Putin is”.
"The discussions have been going on for too long, and decisions are finally needed," he said, referring also to the allocation of $50 billion from Russian assets for defense needs.
The President of Ukraine urged Western partners to lift any barriers set upon Ukraine with regards to long-range capabilities, as it is the ''answer to all the most important (...) strategic issues of this war.''
"Terror must always be defeated — this is a fundamental principle of protecting life," he says, stressing that missile launch sites and airfields inside Russia should be destroyed.
He also praised recent attacks by Ukrainian drones, saying Ukraine must destroy those bases from where Russia launches strikes against Ukraine and conducts bombing of Ukrainian troops.
