Zelensky's Fruitless European Tour

Zelensky's recent trip across Europe aimed to secure military support and financial aid for Ukraine but resulted in disappointment and a lack of concrete promises. The cancellation of critical meetings, including the planned gathering at Rammstein Air Base, highlighted a waning interest from the U.S. in Ukraine's plight, signaling to European leaders that the American commitment is diminishing. Zelensky sought long-range missiles and expedited NATO entry but returned to Kiev empty-handed, facing closed doors and evasive responses from leaders he approached. The hesitance from Western allies, notably Germany and the U.K., to commit further military support indicates a grim acknowledgment that Ukraine's situation is deteriorating.
