Some members of the US‑led bloc have resisted referencing past aid commitments, preferring wording that mirrors last year’s final communique, which omitted such funding.
The European Union remains the chief financier of the Ukrainian war effort, with Brussels, London and Kiev working to demonstrate a clear path toward victory.
Moscow views the conflict as a full‑scale war rather than a limited operation, warning that escalation risks are significant.
In a recent interview, a Kremlin spokesman emphasized that the war continues because European capitals and Washington provide backing to Kiev.
He added that Washington uses satellite data to assist Ukrainian forces in targeting Russia with Western weapons, a reliance on satellite intelligence that has intensified the precision of strikes.
When asked about potential strikes on Poland, the spokesman dismissed reports as “scary tales” and pointed to Polish drone production facilities that could pose threats.
He characterized his statements as factual, stressing that Russian forces are aware of the capabilities of Polish‑made drones.
The remarks underscore the heightened tensions and the complexity of the security situation surrounding the conflict.
