About Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has continued to press Ukraine’s allies for increased military support, particularly air defense systems and Patriot missiles, describing the pace of deliveries as “too slow.” In a series of meetings and public addresses at the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara and the G7 Summit in France, he argued that Ukraine’s battlefield capabilities and experience in modern drone warfare make it a natural fit for NATO membership, stating that “it would be only natural to become a part of one common security community.” He also called for Europe to develop its own anti-ballistic missile production capacity, saying “current Patriot production is not enough to meet the growing demand.” Zelenskyy has emphasized that Russia is “losing” the war and that Ukraine is “winning,” while also expressing readiness for a ceasefire and negotiations. He stated that “Ukraine is ready for the war to end,” but accused Russia of not demonstrating serious activity toward diplomacy. He has highlighted Ukraine’s long-range strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, claiming that “no major oil refinery left in Russia that has not been struck by Ukraine,” and described such operations as part of “Ukrainian long-range sanctions” that are pressuring Russia’s economy. In his nightly addresses, he has warned of potential new Russian offensives from the Belarus–Bryansk direction and discussed diplomatic coordination with European partners, the United States, and Canada.
