Kyiv Hosts European Defense Talks
Ukraine hosted a high-level meeting of its European supporters in Kyiv aimed at strengthening its air defenses and increasing pressure on Russia, amid an ongoing war that has lasted over four years and has caused significant damage to civilians, particularly infrastructure. The meeting, held on the occasion of Ukraine's 35th Independence Day anniversary, was jointly chaired by Britain, France, and Germany. Its goal is to gather countries willing to deploy peacekeeping forces if a ceasefire is reached, as well as to support Ukraine with advanced weapons. Britain announced its agreement to share classified information to assist in the production of the long-range "SCALP" missile, while France promised to deliver new interceptor missiles to Kyiv, despite a decline in Patriot missile deliveries since early 2023 due to American hesitation and its impact on US stockpiles. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues strikes on Russian territory in response to Russian shelling, resulting in the deaths of two children and the outbreak of fires, as part of its efforts to bolster its defensive position amid escalating Russian attacks on Kyiv and infrastructure.
