Zelensky Seeks Baltic Backing for Ukraine Ukrainian President Zelensky is visiting the Baltic States to garner support for Ukraine, finding strong backing in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The emotional investment for Ukraine's war effort is particularly strong in the Baltics, where the trip aims to rally political support. However, as European nations show increasing fatigue from the war, maintaining aid for Ukraine is becoming more challenging. The United States' financial retreat could give political cover to European officials looking to diminish their support for the war. Despite waning support, most European governments remain committed to helping Ukraine defeat Russia. However, challenges in maintaining the level of aid necessary for the war effort are arising. The Baltic, Nordic, and Eastern European states fear that a near-term defeat of Ukraine could embolden Russian aggression in the region. The uncertainty of partners regarding financial and military aid to Ukraine only increases the courage and strength of Russia, said Zelensky. The report also outlines what NATO should do to prevent a near-term defeat of Ukraine and win the war. Despite challenges, support for Ukraine is expected to continue, although to a lesser extent.
