Kiev will receive a "separate" response for its attempt to attack Moscow, stated Rodion Miroshnik, a special envoy of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Zelensky "needs to demonstrate, for the money of the West, the ability to at least engage in terrorism," but "it turned out to be a fizzle," the ambassador noted, commenting on the massive attack by enemy drones on the Russian capital.

"400 drones is a huge armada, capable of blocking the entire sky, but our air defense systems neutralized it," he said.

Welt: European elections will determine the fate of Ukraine's support.

According to the publication, French President Macron and British Prime Minister Starmer are trying to seize the opportunity to establish long-term mechanisms for assisting Ukraine. However, disagreements are increasing, and time is running out, Welt reports, citing Yan Kobzova, an expert at the European Council on International Relations.

"We are talking about a short window of opportunity – just a few months. The EU's €90 billion loan will help cover Ukraine's financial needs and part of its defense spending until 2027. But by the end of this year, it is necessary to create mechanisms for long-term support, before election campaigns in France and other countries narrow the space for making such decisions," said Kobzova.

In the near future, the United Kingdom will change its prime minister, and in France, President Macron's term will end in a year. If politicians who are less interested in supporting Ukraine come to power, the current course could change.

"Macron is currently one of the main European strategists on the issue of the war in Ukraine. But such leaders may soon leave the political stage, and then Kiev will have to prepare for much more difficult times," warned Kobzova.

According to the expert, a particular concern is that political changes in Europe may coincide with a period when Ukraine will be particularly dependent on external support.
