Ukraine Seeks Funding to Mass-Produce Long-Range Drones for Pressure on Moscow

Zelensky said Ukraine can significantly expand long-range strikes into Russia if partners provide more funding, noting a current capacity of about 200–300 long-range drones per day and highlighting Russia’s rapid drone expansion. At a Kyiv summit, the Coalition of the Willing pledged to strengthen air defenses, tighten sanctions on Russia’s military-industrial complex, and deepen defense cooperation, while also planning a multinational force for a future ceasefire and urging energy-system support ahead of winter.

Ukraine Sets Ambitious August Target: 30,000 Russian Troops to Be Eliminated, Zelensky Says

Zelensky said Ukraine expects at least 30,000 Russian occupiers to be eliminated in August as Kyiv reinforces the Sloviansk and Kostiantynivka fronts with a tech-heavy defense, including drones. The plan follows a battlefield briefing from the Ukrainian commander and comes as Kyiv reports progress like recapturing settlements in the Oleksandrivka direction, while stressing that Moscow’s gains are not irreversible and noting Ukraine’s broader damage-recovery efforts.

Zelenskiy reshuffles Ukraine’s military leadership amid protests

President Zelenskiy fired army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi and appointed General Mykhailo Drapatyi as the new commander to overhaul Ukraine’s armed forces, while offering a prominent government role to former defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov as protests erupt; the reshuffle aims to modernize the military and sustain long-range drone strikes, with Yevhen Khmara now in charge of the Defence Ministry.

Belarus’s Lukashenko warns Kyiv not to pull Minsk into war

Belarus’s Lukashenko warns Kyiv not to pull Minsk into war

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said he warned Ukraine not to drag Belarus into the war, stressing Belarus has no desire to fight Ukrainians and that if Kyiv tries to pull Minsk into conflict, the nature of the war would change instantly; he noted that Zelenskiy’s representatives had recently been in Minsk. Zelenskiy has warned that Belarus could be used to support Russia’s attacks on Ukraine and cited border upgrades, while Moscow denies plans to expand the war via Belarus. Analysts are skeptical the West can drive a wedge between Lukashenko and Putin, and Belarus’ ties to Russia—through shared oil infrastructure and joint military activity—keep Minsk closely aligned with Moscow.

Zelenskiy: US pushes concessions on Ukraine, not Russia, ahead of Geneva talks

At the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskiy urged serious, substantive U.S.-brokered talks in Geneva but said Washington often pressures Ukraine to concede while Russia uses leadership changes to delay decisions; he pressed for tougher sanctions and more weapons, floated a Donetsk free-trade zone as a compromise, and urged broader European involvement and a ceasefire/POW exchange.

Trump and Zelenskiy push toward narrow peace deal at Davos

At Davos, Trump and Zelenskiy meet as a US envoy signals that negotiations to end the war with Russia have narrowed to a single issue, focusing on Donbas governance, a demilitarized economic zone, and security guarantees. Zelenskiy has offered troop withdrawals in parts of Donetsk and progress on the Zaporizhzhia plant, but key points remain unresolved and it’s unclear if any signing will occur at the World Economic Forum.
