President Zelensky Makes Historic First Visit to Serbia
President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Serbia for his first official visit since the full-scale invasion began in 2022. The visit to the traditionally Moscow-friendly nation is viewed as a strategic diplomatic effort to broaden European support for Ukraine's peace formula. Discussions focused on regional security, humanitarian aid, and Serbia's stance on European integration. The meeting occurred despite ongoing Russian aerial attacks on the Kyiv region, which killed four people during the President's departure from Ukraine.
