Leaders from Europe, Poland, and Ukraine held high-level talks regarding defense, investment, and security cooperation. During a summit, Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that up to 20 million Ukrainians could be forced to flee Europe if Ukraine fell to Russia, and noted that Kyiv faces a budget shortfall of $30 to $35 million next year, according to International Monetary Fund projections. Zelenskyy also stated that he discussed strengthening air defense and the need for EUR 70 billion in budgetary support with European partners.
