Zelenskyy Says Russia Preparing for New 'Year of War'

Zelensky urged EU leaders to use frozen Russian assets to strengthen Ukraine's defenses as Moscow signals readiness for extended conflict in 2026, amid stalled territorial talks.

  • On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned, `Today, we heard yet another signal from Moscow that they are preparing to make next year a year of war`, flagging risks for 2026.
  • At a defence ministry meeting in Moscow, Vladimir Putin, Russian President, told officials the campaign goals will be achieved and framed it as a special military operation entering its fourth year.
  • Ahead of the Brussels summit on Thursday, Zelensky urged European Union leaders and the United States to respond to Moscow’s attempts to undermine diplomacy and backed using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine’s defence.
  • Differences persist over territory, with Zelensky warning Washington's initial proposal would force Kyiv to withdraw from Donetsk and effectively recognise Donetsk, Crimea, and Lugansk as Russian.
  • Amid diplomacy, Dmitry Peskov said, `We expect that, as soon as they are ready, our American counterparts will inform us of the results of their work with the Ukrainians and the Europeans`, and Moscow waits for US information from Berlin.
