Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on European leaders to expand military, energy and diplomatic support for Ukraine during an address to the ninth European Political Community Summit in Dublin on Nov. 12, 2026. He said Europe should become a regular participant in negotiations involving Ukraine, Russia and the United States. Zelenskyy said recent discussions in Abu Dhabi had included a potential prisoner-of-war exchange and talks on security guarantees. He urged European governments to closely examine proposals for a broader security framework involving Europe and Russia, while criticizing Moscow for opposing measures aimed at reducing violence in the Black Sea and protecting Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The Ukrainian president identified air-defense interceptors for Patriot and NASAMS systems, ammunition for F-16 aircraft, and equipment to restore energy facilities as immediate priorities. He also requested assistance for major Ukrainian cities facing repeated attacks and said the government had developed resilience plans for Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa and Kherson. Zelenskyy additionally raised concerns about reported speed restrictions affecting Starshield services in Ukrainian territory, saying they were hindering efforts to intercept Russian drones. He called for the opening of two remaining negotiation clusters by the end of the year and urged new sanctions targeting Russia’s missile and drone industries, communications systems, oil fleet, banks and other financial institutions.
