Ukraine is grappling with severe weapon shortages as US military aid remains uncertain. With fears that frontline defenses could collapse within weeks, international pressure is mounting. Can Ukraine sustain its fight without crucial Western support?

Fear Ukraine defences will last only weeks without US support

Days after US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky got into a heated conversation at the White House, the officials from both the countries are now ready to hold a meeting in the near future.&nbsp;
Ukrainian president's chief of staff Andriy Yermak said that he and US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz had discussed the next steps towards a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, Reuters reported.&nbsp;
Yermak shared a post on X, saying that "they also exchanged views on security issues and the alignment of positions,&rdquo; and scheduled a meeting of Ukrainian and US officials in the near future &ldquo;to continue this important work&rdquo;.

'Scheduled a meeting': US, Ukraine to hold talks once again days after White House spat

As the Russia-Ukraine war continues, a drone footage emerges showing Kyiv&rsquo;s soldiers resorting to using a unique strategy when they run out of weapons amid the fight against Vladimir Putin&rsquo;s military.
After running out of grenades on the frontlines, Ukrainian troops seem to pick up a beehive and throw it on Russian soldiers, who were hiding in a cellar.
While Ukrainian forces have maintained a reputation for improvisation and ingenuity, this is thought to be the first time that insects were used by them during the fight.
The footage, which was posted on a Telegram channel, shows two Ukrainian soldiers in what appears to be a farm in the countryside in the town of Pokrivsk, in the east of the country.

The drone video shows them checking several beehives, then picking one and running over to the cellar hole. The men throw a couple of beehives into the cellar. However, the Russian soldiers were not seen coming out of there.
&ldquo;After the Ukrainian military ran out of grenades, they threw a couple of beehives into the basement of Russian soldiers,&rdquo; the video&rsquo;s caption read.

Zelensky Vows To 'Make Things Right' With Trump After US Halts War Aid

US Vice President JD Vance took a jibe at the UK PM Keir Starmer, dismissing his &lsquo;coalition of the willing&rsquo; to secure Ukraine, saying that a mineral deal giving the US an economic upside would be a more effective security guarantee.

That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years.&rdquo;

Top 10 world news: EU Summit on Ukraine underway in UK; Gaza ceasefire updates, and more

Denmark's defence committee's chair on Sunday (March 1) said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would "run naked through New York City" if that will get him security guarantees and save his country.
Rasmus Jarlov, chair of the Danish parliament Folketing&rsquo;s defence committee, stressed in an interview to Sky News how Ukraine and Europe can get back into talks with US President Donald Trump.
"I&rsquo;m pretty sure that President <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/zelensky" rel="dofollow">Zelensky</a> would be willing to run naked through New York City if that was required of him to get security, security guarantees and save his country," Jarlov said.

He stressed that it cannot be about emotions and personal egos.&nbsp;
"It is about who's humble enough and who said thank you enough. It must be about what is right and just and what is in the interest of the Western world," he said.&nbsp;
<h2>'US has been misled'</h2>
Denmark defence committee's chair further said that the US administration &ldquo;has been misled by a false narrative that Zelensky is a bad guy who is trying to exploit the US and that Europe are bad guys &hellip; and they want to show they are fed up with that.&rdquo;
He warned that any peace deal without security guarantees for Ukraine is not even worth the value of the paper that it's written on as &ldquo;Russian leaders regularly break their promises, break their treaties, break agreements.&rdquo;

"It seems that Russia already thinks that they&rsquo;re at war with the West... If you think that way, then you&rsquo;re going to attack again. And they will attack the Baltic countries, probably as the first target," he stressed.
<h2>EU countries 'not doing their part'</h2>
Jarlov called out some EU countries for not paying enough in their defence spending for Ukraine and "not doing their part".&nbsp;
"There is no comparison between the economies of Europe and Russia. It&rsquo;s like 15 times bigger. So if Europe stands up and helps Ukraine, there will only be one outcome, and that will be a Ukrainian victory," he said.
Jarlov added that if "we are hesitant like we have been so far", then the Americans are going to stop helping because they think it&rsquo;s too expensive, and then Ukraine will lose, and that "will be a very, very bad outcome for Europe."
Currently, the European leaders are holding a crucial defence summit in London, hosted by UK PM Keir Starmer.
Jarlov stressed that the EU leaders have to "stop talking, stop tweeting" and have to "start paying and they have to send the arms to Ukraine right now."

Rasmus Jarlov, chair of the Danish parliament Folketing’s defence committee, stressed in an interview to Sky News how Ukraine and Europe can get back into talks with US President Donald Trump.

"It is about who's humble enough and who said thank you enough. It must be about what is right and just and what is in the interest of the Western world," he said. 'US has been misled' Denmark defence committee's chair further said that the US administration “has been misled by a false narrative that Zelensky is a bad guy who is trying to exploit the US and that Europe are bad guys … and they want to show they are fed up with that.” He warned that any peace deal without security guarantees for Ukraine is not even worth the value of the paper that it's written on as “Russian leaders regularly break their promises, break their treaties, break agreements.” Also read: ‘Not a litre until Trump is finished’: Norway’s firm cuts supply to US over Trump, Zelensky White House spat "It seems that Russia already thinks that they’re at war with the West... If you think that way, then you’re going to attack again. And they will attack the Baltic countries, probably as the first target," he stressed. EU countries 'not doing their part' Jarlov called out some EU countries for not paying enough in their defence spending for Ukraine and "not doing their part". "There is no comparison between the economies of Europe and Russia. It’s like 15 times bigger. So if Europe stands up and helps Ukraine, there will only be one outcome, and that will be a Ukrainian victory," he said.
