Zelensky Wants $20BN, Merz in Trouble, Russia Builds Major Base, Kallas Under Scrutiny

Ukraine is seeking an additional $20 billion in support from its allies as President Zelensky looks to maintain momentum on the battlefield and strengthen Ukraine's position moving forward. Meanwhile, Germany faces growing political turbulence as Friedrich Merz comes under pressure and the AfD continues to gain support amid concerns over Germany's economic decline and loss of industrial competitiveness. I also discuss the controversy surrounding the EU's diplomatic service (EEAS), following criticism reported by the French press and confirmed by Politico, as Kaja Kallas moves to defend the institution. In addition, Russia is rapidly expanding military infrastructure near the Finnish border, raising new security concerns for NATO and the Baltic region. Finally, we examine the EU's newly announced 21st sanctions package against Russia and what it could mean for the future of the conflict.
