Ukrainian President Zelensky recently visited Belgrade, a nation considered a key ally of both Russia and China, a move discussed following the NATO Summit in Ankara. The author, having met Zelensky, believes the visit was strategically important for advancing Ukraine’s interests despite the controversy surrounding it. Ukraine faces challenges similar to Israel’s, navigating relationships with both aggressors and their supporting nations.

This includes understanding how to engage with countries like Serbia, which maintain ties with adversaries like Russia. The visit signifies Ukraine’s effort to counter Russian influence in the Balkans and build international support.
