Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been meeting southeastern European leaders, to secure more weapons and support in the war against Russia.
Zelenskyy and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama are co-hosting a two-day summit in Albania, to encourage further aid for Kyiv.
It’s Zelenskyy’s first trip to Tirana since Russia invaded two years ago.
Jahja Muhasilovic, a political analyst on the Balkans and the Middle East, has told Al Jazeera from Bosnia’s Sarajevo that “Albania is known to be one of the staunchest supporters of limiting Russia’s influence here in the region.”
“In a way, Zelenskyy’s visit in Albania is having that geopolitical connotation. He is probably counting on the Western Balkan countries not to help them militarily because they are limited, but through their lobbying part that they can play in continuing the armament of the Ukrainian troops,” he said.
“Albania is also fighting the Serbian maligning influence that is also affecting Ukraine. Serbia has been acting as a little Russia in the region. The Russians are using Serbian networks in order to project their power here in the Balkans,” Muhasilovic added.

404 Украина*
Now he is begging Albania.
Desperate times.
Want to say 9as a citizen of Ukraine) that our people are pretty dumb. We picked zelensky just with his propaganda that “we need to relax from war”, and in his time of ruling, he didnt care about weapons. Not to mention that he made fun of ukrainian traditions before 2019, as he was a comic in a so-called “Kvartal 95 show”
As an Albanian I’m very annoyed and I disagree with the 20.000 Ukrainians coming here this is not okay
kujt i plasi kari ca mendon ti
As an Albanian who my friend hosted an Ukrainian family, I completely disagree with you!
As an Albanian, I am 99.9% sure that you are probably a Russian troll.
@andin3720 wow. Looks like the zionists are rotting your brain.
He has decided to change destination because the Americans are tired of him
For sure muslim bosnian speak against israel! My friend albania is for israel you are also against albania!
Wow I don’t it gets more desperate than this 😂
I’m hearing this was about Zelensky in Albania but all the “Bosnian” wants to talk about is Serbia. He’s remembering his ancestors apparently 😂
Did he knew what the cost of war is ? Zolensky should go back to acting
Not a typical looking Ukrainian, he looks like Kermit. Come on Ukrainians we are bigger than that. Little man with a lot to prove. Stop putting our people at risk for your proxy war for Europe and US. Serbs will just tell you pitch ka de matrena. 😢
Who let this chimpanZee out?
True men can’t leave Ukraine now!
Russia❤Serbia❤Gaza/Palestine❤
🇮🇱 🇦🇱 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
All the comments below seem to support Russia. I mean Russia, a nation that is the biggest country in the world and yet wants more land from other countries. What kind of heart do you people have. This man went to Albania to ask for support. That does not mean beggar. His people are losing their life.
He should be jailed corrupted criminal .
Zelensky is a war criminal
And he caused the war in Ukraine with horrendous foreign politics
He is no batter then Putin
I’m not a Putin supporter, but your comment is ridiculous. Maybe you should understand why Russia is in Ukraine right now before making such foolish statement
Let me ask you, Why do you think Russia is in Ukraine ? Any ideas?
I’m Albanian based in uk. Albanian has nothing to offer, this it’s like his last hope before Russia takes over completely. Albania is so poor that offers you £35 a month in income support to feed a family of 8 or more for the whole month. So What does that say to you. ??? Albania it is a broke country and I’m glad I got out when could and moved on to bigger and better things here in England. Don’t miss it one bit.
You have to been to albania in a long time and his visit has nothing to do with money or budalla
It looks like you haven’t been to Albania in long time.
this clown of kiev should be arrested for corruption…can not believe…he still begging for money…the saudis gave him the finger.
All the Banks – including Switzerland need to count to three – and send Russian funds to Ukraine like Bill Browder suggests.
Albania has so much weapons even America used them during Afghanistan’s and Iraq wars..Albania wants peace 🇦🇱🇺🇸🇷🇸🇹🇷🇺🇦🇷🇺☮️🕊️☮️🕊️
Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
Who didn’t want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time.
Western Leaderships are more stupid that I thought and all they want to do is take your tax money and send it to comedians in other countries so that they can send their men to die?
When was the last visit of Haniyeh to Gaza?
zelensky in Albania. I had a good laugh. The clown has entered the circus.
Not yet. We are still waiting for Pootin to make the great entrance as a clown.
Get better microphones
Trying to escape Ukraine by making useless visits.
Beggar on the tour.
Albania was the first country in Europe that donates wepons and medicals help to Ukraine, also Kosovo Republic is helping Ukraine ,Ukraine still didnt give green yes to Kosovo Republic and that is not correct from Them ,lots of Albanians guys are fighting in Ukraine for UKRAINE 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰❤
No. As Albanian myself all I have to say is this. He is not welcome here in my country. Nor Joe Biden, nor Rishi Sunak or anyone else who stand with Zionist and genocide. There’s only Palestine. And as for Edi Rama. That’s the biggest mistake he ever made. First he said that Albania stands with Israel and now he said that Israel has the right to defend itself? From whom? Women and children? Who been slaughtered and beheaded by Benjamin Netanyahu’s Zionist army? Israel Diaper Force?
