Kyiv hosts allied push for new air defense as Ukraine seeks interceptors
Ukraine convenes a high‑level “Coalition of the Willing” meeting in Kyiv to press Western partners for expanded air‑defense support, including Patriot interceptors, as Russia steps up missile and drone attacks. The gathering, chaired by France and Germany (remotely) with UK involvement, includes European leaders and Norway pledging further aid; Zelenskyy says deliveries of interceptors have fallen and Kyiv seeks a winter package of at least about 300 interceptors.
