Ukraine Seeks Funding to Mass-Produce Long-Range Drones for Pressure on Moscow

Zelensky said Ukraine can significantly expand long-range strikes into Russia if partners provide more funding, noting a current capacity of about 200–300 long-range drones per day and highlighting Russia’s rapid drone expansion. At a Kyiv summit, the Coalition of the Willing pledged to strengthen air defenses, tighten sanctions on Russia’s military-industrial complex, and deepen defense cooperation, while also planning a multinational force for a future ceasefire and urging energy-system support ahead of winter.

UK pledges declassified missile tech to Ukraine as coalition ramps up support

British PM Andy Burnham vowed to declassify missile-related information and have MBDA share details on UK-made SCALP components to help Ukraine assemble long-range missiles. Zelenskyy urged allies to bolster air defence and cover a 2026 defence funding gap of 27 billion euros, while the Coalition of the Willing—co-chaired by Burnham with Macron, Meloni and Costa—pushed to increase military support and sanctions as Russia renewed strikes on Chernihiv and Odesa ahead of winter.

Ukraine hits €23B defense funding gap as Western aid lags

Ukraine faces a €23 billion hole in its defense budget this year after front-loading half-year spending ahead of the EU’s €90 billion loan, which has been delayed by Hungary. Kyiv says it needs €6.8–€8.5 billion early in 2027 to pay for weapons and supplies, plus about €17 billion more for military salaries and families of the fallen, while the EU has disbursed €6.1 billion in new defense procurement—far short of needs. Domestic reform delays and political hurdles are slowing disbursement, even as leaders gather in Kyiv to pledge ongoing support for Ukraine’s defense and independence.

Bulgaria exits Coalition of the Willing, signaling a diplomatic pivot on Ukraine aid

Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev said Bulgaria doesn’t belong in the Coalition of the Willing because continued financial and military aid to Ukraine prolongs the conflict, signaling a diplomatic pivot after his April election win. Sofia will not send further military aid but says defense cooperation with Kyiv can continue commercially, and Radev skipped the coalition summit as Bulgaria shifts away from Kyiv’s allies.

Europe Unveils Plan to Secure Hormuz Strait Without US Leadership

Britain and France are leading a Europe-led Coalition of the Willing to secure the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to de-mine and escort ships with legal backing and broad Asian participation, while the US remains divided and Iran presses toll demands; success depends on broad buy-in, capability, and a mandate amid a potential new crisis if Iran closes the strait again.

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Western allies to deploy noncombat ground troops to Ukraine to back a ceasefire and demonstrate commitment to a free Ukraine, a move that would mark a major policy shift; Britain’s defense ministry said the coalition is preparing for post-conflict deployment while Western officials have been wary of escalation.
