The former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko who is participating in the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, at a meeting with the delegation of Germany, called on German deputies to a new format of support for Ukraine.
Poroshenko called for a new dimension of military support for Ukraine from the West, noting that the existing aid framework is insufficient to defeat the aggressor.
‘Germany should confirm its strategic leadership and promote the growth of military aid to Ukraine, give the Armed Forces the right to use Western weapons against targets on the territory of Russia, place German armed contingents, joint military enterprises and warehouses on the territory of Ukraine, as well as increase supplies of high-precision weapons to Ukraine,’ Poroshenko said.
In addition, Petro Poroshenko called on the German leaders to approve an important decision regarding the invitation of Ukraine to join the NATO.
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.

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.
