"Ukraine's Deputy PM Reveals Timeline for War's End"

Ukraine is planning for the final phase of its war with Russia, thanks to battlefield success and Western unity. The country is seeking long-term, scaled-up military assistance and clarity on the provision of advanced weapons like F-16 fighter jets and Army Tactical Missile Systems. While Ukraine secured bilateral security deals with G7 nations, it did not receive a concrete path to NATO membership. The agreements include pledges to provide military equipment, help rebuild Ukraine's defense industry, train its forces, share intelligence, and coordinate on cyber defense. Ukraine intends to use these pacts as a foundation for its military strategy, as its troops continue a gradual offensive. However, some weapons, such as F-16s and ATACMS munitions, remain elusive, although there is hope for progress in the near future.
