Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba warned that if Ukraine fails against Russia, Europe could face direct threats, suggesting that “war will come to the streets of European cities.” He indicated that Russia is capable of only one war at a time but posed a risk to Europe if Ukraine collapses. Kuleba emphasized the necessity of NATO membership for Ukraine to prevent future conflicts and stated that security guarantees are insufficient. Additionally, he mentioned ongoing discussions with President-elect Donald Trump regarding peace negotiations, stressing that any peace deal must not compromise Ukraine’s territory while condemning the escalation of warfare.
