Visiting Canada was the easiest, although "America's pockets are more filled with money," but its policies are more complicated, the president promised

Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, supported Ukraine "as long as it needed" in

Confronting Russia, Trudeau has the collective support of members of different parties, in this endeavor.

President Zelensky received a new military package worth 325 million dollars from the White House, but it was not the amount

The huge 24 billion dollars he was hoping for.

However, this package faces a stumbling block in Congress due to disagreement over budgets , and the difficulties do not stop there Also

Zelensky held a meeting with his American counterpart Joe Biden, as well as meetings with Republican politicians who are trying to

Contain the growing doubts within their party.

"We are protecting the liberal world, and this should resonate with the Republicans,"said one of the government advisers in Kiev.

"It was even more difficult when the war started, because it was chaos . Now we can be more specific in our requests،

Because we know what our allies have and where they store it, so much so that our president can be Minister of defense in a number of countries, "he said.

But Ukraine's requests cannot be realized so smoothly, and political challenges are constantly escalating.

The most prominent questions are usually the following: "Why does Ukraine continue to be given a blank cheque?" What is the form and nature of victory"

These are two questions that the Ukrainian leader is trying to answer in international forums.

That is why he conducts more negotiation processes instead of additional support campaigns, just in order to maintain

Continued Western assistance.

All these pressures in one week, not to mention Kiev's rivalry with one of its most loyal allies, Poland, over grain Ukrainian.

Even for an experienced wartime leader, these are difficult diplomatic times.

The upcoming elections in partner countries such as Poland, Slovakia and the United States are clouding the picture, giving some

Candidates prioritize domestic issues at the expense of military support for Ukraine.

Sergey gerasimchuk, an analyst at the Ukrainian prism organization, explains that " the need to balance military aid

And voter satisfaction makes things very complicated".

"Ukraine should take into account the promotion of its interests using all possible tools, taking into account the situation in the countries," he adds

Partner and the European Union".

This is the kind of democracy that Russian leader Vladimir Putin does not need to worry about.

That is why Kiev is trying to portray this war as a battle not only for its sovereignty, but also for Democracy itself.

"The moral aspect of this war is huge,"says a Ukrainian government adviser.

And while Ukraine always emphasizes that it "will not rush" its counterattack, but with the policy of this war is increasingly associated with fighting،

This commitment to not rushing is being tested more than ever.
