Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy convened a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff to address critical issues regarding the school year, energy system, and the intensifying military situation at the Pokrovsk front. Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky reported that the Pokrovsk area in the Donetsk region is currently facing the most challenging conditions, with Russia's military making significant advances and conducting numerous assaults on Ukrainian positions. Zelenskyy emphasized the government's responsibility in preparing schools for energy challenges amid ongoing conflicts and the need to fortify the energy infrastructure against Russian strikes. A recent report indicated that Western support for Ukraine is declining, with newly committed aid dropping significantly since the previous year, raising concerns about future military and humanitarian assistance. The U.S. remains the largest donor, but when aid is measured against GDP, smaller countries like Estonia provide more substantial support relative to their economies. The dynamics of the conflict and Western support are critical as Ukraine faces intensified Russian efforts in the Donetsk region.
