Zelensky Rallying Allies: A Call for Continued Support Amid Change

Ukrainian President Zelensky urges international cooperation as he addresses 50 nations on the eve of a new U.S. administration.


Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made an impassioned appeal for sustained military support from international allies in a meeting with roughly 50 representatives at Ramstein Air Base on January 9, 2025. With the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump approaching, Zelensky stressed the importance of collaboration and the continuation of aid in the ongoing conflict against Russia.

During the 25th meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, Zelensky characterized this moment as pivotal, stating, “It would honestly be crazy to drop the ball now.” He acknowledged that a critical new phase for Europe and the world was imminent, reinforcing the necessity for increased cooperation among nations.

At this conference, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin unveiled a new military aid package worth $500 million, framing it as part of the ongoing support from the Biden administration during its closing weeks. This funding comes as essential ammunition and military hardware is sent to bolster Ukraine's defense strategies against the Russian and North Korean forces.

Zelensky’s remarks were aimed at reinforcing resolve among allies, emphasizing the achievements of their coalition over nearly three years of persistent conflict. The Ukrainian leader called for a unified front, urging that the progress made in building defense coalitions should not be jeopardized during a time of transition in U.S. presidential leadership.
