Zelensky Seeks Global Support at Singapore Defense Summit Amid Russian Conflict

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a surprise appearance at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, aiming to bolster international support for Ukraine's peace plan amid ongoing Russian aggression. His visit underscores Kyiv's efforts to keep global attention on its defense needs and peace vision, especially with the looming US presidential elections potentially affecting American support. Zelensky's attendance provides a rare opportunity to engage with defense chiefs from the Asia-Pacific, including China, which has strengthened ties with Russia during the conflict.
