Russia may carry out 'demonstrative actions' near Ukraine border during Belarus exercises – Andrii Demchenko, spokesperson for Ukraine's State Border Guard Service Ukrainian border guards are closely monitoring the situation in Belarus, where joint Russian-Belarusian military exercises are set to take place. It is possible that the enemy could resort to provocations or demonstrative actions near the Ukrainian border during these drills. "We are actively monitoring developments on Belarusian territory, particularly in light of the announced joint exercises between Russia and Belarus. It's important to understand how many Russian forces will be involved and where exactly the drills will take place. According to preliminary reports, in terms of proximity to the Ukrainian border, the exercises are likely to be held deeper within Belarusian territory. At this point, it's hard to say why that is. Perhaps Belarus has certain concerns," Demchenko said.

Europe Largely Offsets Decline in U.S. Aid to Ukraine Europe is currently compensating to a significant extent for the reduction in U.S. assistance to Ukraine, with the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom leading the effort. These findings come from a study by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy's Ukraine Support Tracker. The report notes that aid flows to Ukraine shifted significantly in March and April 2025. While the United States — formerly Ukraine’s largest donor — did not provide any new aid during this period and has not announced new support since early January, European countries have increased their contributions. As a result, for the first time since June 2022, Europe has surpassed the United States in total military aid, reaching €72 billion compared to €65 billion from the U.S.
