Ukrainians consider Ukraine possessing nuclear weapons and gradual accession to NATO to be the best guarantees of security for Ukraine to a similar extent.

Over 44% of Ukrainians say that they trust US President-elect Donald Trump, which is significantly more than in all European countries. 

Compared to last year, US President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have slipped the most in the ranking of foreign leaders trusted by Ukrainians, while French President Emmanuel Macron is the only leader for whom this figure has increased.

As of November 2024, about 70% of Ukrainians were positive about the idea of Ukraine's gradual accession to NATO, just as it was for divided Germany. 

US President-elect Donald Trump has shared his conclusions from a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris.

NATO Military Committee Chairman Rob Bauer has extended greetings to the Ukrainian military on Armed Forces Day and expressed his respect.

Andrii Sybiha, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, stressed in his speech at the OSCE meeting that Russia is only imitating its readiness for peace, in reality seeking to impose its aggressive goals. He called on the international community not to fall for the Kremlin's disinformation.

The offices belonging to at least several Georgian opposition parties have been searched and two people have been detained.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has evaded a clear answer to questions about potential participation of the German military in a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine if such an idea ever comes up as a result of negotiations.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has stated that the allies’ goal is to provide Ukraine with assistance to the extent that would enable it to begin negotiations with Russia in a strong position, while Moscow would not see an opportunity to achieve its goals.

Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine's Foreign Minister, stated that the country has learnt a painful lesson from the hopes for the Budapest Memorandum and that mistakes of this nature cannot be made again.

Ukraine is requesting NATO countries to find a way to provide at least 20 air defence systems to effectively counter Russia's airstrikes.
