Ukraine faces challenges as Biden postpones key summit with allies
Summary: Ukraine's situation on the battlefield is worsening as President Volodymyr Zelensky seeks increased support from Western allies. His recent diplomatic tour in Europe aimed to secure backing for a new victory plan, but mixed messages from allies have left him facing challenges.
A planned meeting of the Ramstein group, which includes 50 countries supporting Ukraine, has been postponed due to U.S. President Joe Biden's canceled trip. This delay prevents Zelensky from presenting his key demands, including NATO membership and advanced military aid.
While Zelensky secured some military assistance from Germany, major requests like long-range missiles were not fulfilled. Overall, Western support remains steady but insufficient for Ukraine to implement its victory plan effectively.
