Poland Opposition to Ukraine EU,NATO Support Surpasses Backing

Ukraine continues to seek international support amid its ongoing conflict with Russia, focusing on military assistance, diplomatic engagement, and strategic partnerships. At the NATO summit in The Hague, Ukrainian officials emphasized the need for systematic ally support, including air defense and defense industry development, as key to securing victory and lasting peace. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy held talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and other global leaders, securing military aid commitments and advancing plans for a tribunal to prosecute Russian war crimes. Meanwhile, polling in Poland reveals a significant decline in public support for Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO, reflecting shifting regional attitudes despite continued backing in international forums. Beyond Europe, Ukraine has expanded its diplomatic presence in Africa, opening new embassies like in Mauritania to provide aid and offer military training, countering Russia's influence in the Sahel region. Germany's development agency GIZ also actively supports Ukraine through targeted development efforts, underscoring the multifaceted international response to the crisis.
