During his speech at the Congress of the European People’s Party in Bucharest, the former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko called on Western partners to give Ukraine all the weapons it needs to win the war.
‘A fundamental priority for Europe is a stable security situation thanks to our joint victory. There is no separate victory for Ukraine, no separate victory for any member state of the European Union. That is one victory. There is no other way,’ he said.
He added that Ukraine and its allies must show Putin that they do not trust him and are not afraid of him, and that Ukraine will definitely win.
Poroshenko stressed that Ukraine needs support as long as it takes for the victory.
The former president explained that Ukraine needs munitions, modern fighter jets, and long-range missiles.
Poroshenko also emphasized the need to strengthen sanctions against Russia.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
