Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj is particularly calling for additional air defense to better counter daily attacks. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has already made it clear that these arms shipments are seen as harmful to peace efforts and that Russia is ready to start direct negotiations with Ukraine.
Political developments in Ukraine
In the midst of these uncertain times, the Ukrainian government also seems to be on the move.

In summary, these geopolitical tensions, coupled with a passionate resilience on the part of Ukrainians, continue to make the situation very dynamic. Even if solutions are not in sight, hope for peace in the region remains high, although the hurdles to achieving it appear greater than ever.
