On a day when NATO has promised new help for Ukraine, while thousands more people in the country have been left without power after Russian attacks, a Ukrainian analyst has offered his hopes to FRANCE 24.

Zalmayev, however, did welcome the new additional support for Ukraine announced by NATO members. We spoke to him in Perspective.
