Russia has raised concerns about a new US missile defense base in Poland, claiming it increases nuclear threats. The base, part of NATO's missile shield, aims to intercept ballistic missiles and is seen by Russia as a provocation. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the need for diplomatic efforts to reclaim Crimea, stating that military action would result in unnecessary loss of life. He acknowledged that Ukraine currently lacks the military capability to retake Crimea by force and reiterated his calls for security guarantees and NATO membership.
Zelensky's comments come amid ongoing military tensions, with reports of missile launches and drone interceptions between Ukrainian and Russian forces. The situation remains fluid, with both sides engaging in military operations while diplomatic solutions are sought.
