‼️ZELENSKYY: Security challenges from Russia aren't just for a year or even five years. Russia has picked a long-term anti-European, anti-democratic strategy and is shaping its policy around it.
“The fact that Russian military bases are being set up near Europe, even in places where there weren't any during Soviet times, clearly shows that without Ukraine, without our capabilities and experience, Europe might find things extremely difficult. All this needs to be taken into account. Security challenges from Russia aren't just for a year or even five years. Russia has picked a long-term anti-European, anti-democratic strategy and is shaping its policy around it. Nothing else is heard from Moscow”
Ukrainian president on Saturday, June 13, 2026.
