The fear of a "desperate" Putin unleashes European defensive desires: nuclear umbrellas, bunkers and defenses against drones hacked by Russia

The president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, thanked the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, this Wednesday for the sanctions imposed by London against Russia in the context of the war – although he has called for “even more” pressure – and has claimed that, in order to end the conflict, “Europe needs” to have its own voice in any peace negotiations. “Europe undoubtedly needs its own voice, its own position and its own contribution to all diplomatic efforts that can help end the war,” Zelensky stressed in a phone call with Starmer, according to the Ukrainian Presidency in a statement. In this conversation, the leaders discussed, according to kyiv, “joint diplomacy with Europe” to stop and end the war, as well as preparations for negotiations and meetings focused on the supply of weapons for the defense of Ukraine.
