Ukraine recovery summit opens in Poland without Zelensky

The Ukraine recovery summit in Poland kicked off without President Volodymyr Zelensky, who chose to skip the event due to a diplomatic dispute with Poland. This absence underscores the strained relations between Kyiv and Warsaw, which have been affected by disagreements over military support and political strategies. The summit aims to gather international stakeholders to discuss and commit to a massive rebuilding effort for Ukraine. Despite Zelensky's absence, the meeting still marks a significant step in coordinating global support for Ukraine's recovery post-war, highlighting the importance of international collaboration in rebuilding the nation.
