Zelenskyy Calls for United European Defense

In a series of addresses at the Warsaw Security Forum on September 29, 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the need for a unified European response to security threats posed by Russia. Highlighting recent violations of NATO airspace by Russia, Zelenskyy called for coordinated efforts among European nations and the United States to counteract aggressive actions.

During his participation in the forum, Zelenskyy proposed the creation of a joint defense initiative with Poland and other partners to establish a reliable shield against Russian aerial threats. “Russia is testing how far it can go,” he stated, urging a rapid and united response to maintain stability in the region.

President Zelenskyy also addressed the issue of children forcibly displaced by Russian aggression, announcing plans to compile a registry in collaboration with international partners. This initiative aims to gather data on children affected by the conflict, underscoring the humanitarian impact of ongoing tensions.

Additionally, the President took the opportunity to commemorate the 84th anniversary of the Babyn Yar tragedy, honoring the victims of Nazi executions in Kyiv during World War II. This remembrance serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of unity and cooperation in the face of current challenges.
