Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has acknowledged that Ukraine's army lacks the strength to fully recapture territories lost to Russia since 2014, including Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye.
In a recent interview, Zelensky emphasized the need for diplomacy, stating that Ukraine cannot achieve its territorial goals through military means alone.
He also highlighted that any diplomatic solution would only be possible when Ukraine is strong enough to prevent further Russian offensives.
Despite this, Zelensky remains firm in his stance that Ukraine will not capitulate, signaling that NATO membership remains a key objective in negotiations.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made a surprise visit to Kyiv after more than two years, signaling Germany's unwavering support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. Scholz's visit, which was kept secret for security reasons, comes as Germany commits to sending €650 million worth of military aid to Ukraine. The Chancellor met with President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss future cooperation, Ukraine's EU membership prospects, and continued military assistance. Scholz’s visit underscores Germany's key role in Europe’s response to the crisis and its long-term strategic goals for Ukraine.

Norway has announced plans to open a new NATO Arctic and amphibious warfare center in the municipality of Sorreisa, located near Russia’s strategic port of Murmansk. This new base will be pivotal in training US, British, and Dutch marines for potential amphibious assaults and military operations in the Arctic region. With heightened tensions between NATO and Russia, especially following Russia's military activities in Ukraine and the Arctic, this move signals a major shift in NATO’s defense strategy. The new hub is expected to be operational by 2026, and it aims to strengthen allied cooperation in the Nordic region. In response, Russia has warned of its readiness to defend its interests in the Arctic. What does this mean for the future of NATO-Russia relations?

A Russian Lancet drone has reportedly destroyed a US-made HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system in Ukraine's Zaporozhye Region, signalling a potential blow to Ukraine's military capabilities. The strike, captured in an undated video released by the pro-Moscow Telegram channel 'The Wrong Side,' shows the HIMARS launcher being hit while on the move as part of a convoy near Novosoloshino.
