What happened: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his government is seeking specific security guarantees from Western allies for post-war support, after two days of allied talks in Brussels. Key numbers: Brussels talks covered funding for 2027. Why it matters: Zelenskyy said he wants guarantees clear on paper, including who will act and with what means if Russia attacks again. He said Democrats' midterm victories may increase the chances of additional U.S. assistance, including faster delivery of Patriot interceptors.
